Question

Read the following except and answer the following questions :

Then we reached the top of the slope and there was the penguin colony.

Ahead of us the low brown scrub petered out, and in its place was a

great desert of sun-cracked sand. This was separated from the sea

beyond by a crescent-shaped ridge of white sand dunes. It was in this

desert area, protected from the sea wind by the encircling arms of the

dunes, that the penguins had created their city. As far as the eye could

see on every side, the ground was pock-marked with nesting burrows.

These craters made the place look like a small section of the moon’s

surface. In among these craters waddled the biggest collection of penguinsI had ever seen, like a sea of pigmy waiters, solemnly shuffling to and

fro as if suffering from fallen arches due to a life time of carrying overloaded

trays. It was a breath taking sight.

We stood and watched the penguins, and they stood and watched us

with immense respect and interest. As long as we stayed near the

vehicle they showed no fear. The greater proportion of birds were, of

course, adults, but each nesting burrow contained one or two youngsters,

still wearing their baby coats of down, who regarded us with big, melting

dark eyes, looking rather like plump and shy debutantes clad in outsize

silver fox furs. The adults, sleek and neat in their black and white suits,

had red wattles round the base of their beaks, and bright, predatory,

street pedlar eyes. As you approached them they would back towards

their burrows, twisting their heads from side to side in a warning display,

until sometimes they would be looking at you completely upside down.

If you approached too close they would walk backwards into their burrows

and gradually disappear, still twisting their heads vigorously. The babies,

on the other hand, would let you get within about four feet of them, and

then their nerve would break and they would turn and dive into the burrow,

so that their great fluffy behinds and frantically flapping feet was all that

could be seen of them.

ii) Pick out two comparisons from the above excerpt.

iii) Describe the young penguins.

iv) Point out the difference in attitude between the penguin adults
