. Q1. Read the unseen passage and answer the following questions: (5)

The giraffe is the tallest of all living land animals. A male can go up to 18 feet and a female up to 15 feet. Such height enables them to escape the competition for ground level grass that exists among other leaf-eaters. It also gives him a long range of vision. He takes the warning of the approaching enemy early.
Giraffes eat a variety of leaves, but acacia leaves are their favourite diet. In spring when many trees are not in leaf, they spend 80 per cent of the day eating. In summer, when trees are in full leaf, they need only 15 per cent. The rest of the time is spent in resting and quarrelling.
A giraffe’s long neck is made up like that of man and most other mammals, of only seven vertebrae. The bones are attached to one another with ball and socket joints. These make the neck flexible. It can run at 50 km per hour.
Rising from a lying position is a problem for such a large animal. So, it usually keeps standing even while it sleeps.
To reach water with such a long neck and legs, a giraffe spreads its front legs wide apart. Then it lowers its neck to drink. This awkward position makes it easy for the lion to attack it.

On the basis of your reading of the above passage fill in the blanks with suitable words:
i)A giraffe is the ___________of all land animals.
ii)The height of a____________ giraffe can go up to 18 feet.
iii)The ____________ of a female giraffe can be up to 15 feet.
iv)This height enables it to see it’s ____________ from a long distance.
v) It, however, creates problem in reaching__________________.
