Question

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. (6)<br /><br />1. Holiday plans ensure promises and perils; hopes and hypes; excitement and disappointments; good news and <br /><br />not-so good news. The not-so good news is that not everyone can plan a vacation to Arctic Alps or to the <br /><br />Amazon to observe the diverse wildlife there for obvious reasons like lack of resources or failure to obtain the <br /><br />necessary sanction for leave. The good news is that there is so much to eye, experience and enjoy right where <br /><br />you live — amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. For some, vacation is all about circus, beach, malls, <br /><br />movies, shopping, reading, and catching up on sleep. But for nature enthusiasts this is the time to make the <br /><br />best of wildlife spotting in the city.<br /><br />2. The wildlife diversity and cities have always been treated as an oxymoron. In highly congested and thickly <br /><br />populated cities with myriad skyscrapers, flyovers, malls, heritage buildings and magnificent edifices, it's <br /><br />incredibly amazing to see wildlife abound in their own secretive niches. The untamed birds, insects, <br /><br />mammals, reptiles, amphibians and of course the untended plants are all over.<br /><br />3. Summer vacations render an awesome reprieve from stressful work schedule and also bestow time to enjoy <br /><br />pleasant surprises over a cup of morning coffee in your own neighbourhood — birds bustly engaged in <br /><br />nesting, squirrels relishing mangoes, spotted owlets peeping out in stupor from tree holes and butterflies <br /><br />hovering over the peacock flower.<br /><br />4. This is the season to look out for the fiery blossoms of Indian Laburnum and Copper Pods. Indian Laburnum <br /><br />otherwise known as the golden shower tree produces gorgeous pendulous inflorescence and is a greatly <br /><br />refreshing sight to behold when the city is actually reeling under heat wave. Copper pods produce dense <br /><br />clusters of crinkled yellow flowers which are highly relished by the rose-ringed parakeets.<br /><br />5. Birds to look out for in home gardens and in the neighbourhood are magpie robins, tree pies, golden orioles, <br /><br />wagtails, hoopoes, sunbirds, sparrows, tailor birds, barbets, kingfishers, woodpeckers, babblers, warblers, <br /><br />bee-eaters, bulbuls, shrikes, shikras, koels, pipits, parakeets, rollers and sometimes even the rare paradise <br /><br />flycatchers and pitta. Each bird has a distinct call and it is easy to trace their presence to their sound, which is <br /><br />otherwise not too easy.<br /><br />Attempt the following questions on the basis of the passage you have read:<br /><br />(a) An 'oxymoron' here refers to .........................................<br /><br />(i) oxygen (if) skyscrapers<br /><br />(Hi) wildlife in congested cities (iv) flyovers<br /><br />(b) For nature enthusiasts, vacation is the time to ............................................<br /><br />(0 look for wildlife around (ii) go for movies<br /><br />(iii) catch up on sleep ( i v ) go to mall<br /><br />(c) One feels stressed in summer vacation because one needs time to look for wildlife around the<br /><br />city.
