Question

Read the passage given below and answers the following questions:- (10)

At a casual glance no one would think that the two animals were even remotely related. The

black footed mongoose, although still only a baby, measured two feet in length and stood

about eight inches in height she had a blunt, rather dog – like face with dark, round and

somewhat protuberant eyes. Her body, head and tail were a rich creamy – white, while her

slender legs were a rich brown that was almost black. She was sleek, sinuous and svelte and

reminded me of a soft – skinned par sienna belle – Amie clad in nothing more than two pairs

of black silk stockings. In contrast, the pigmy mongoose looked anything but parisienne. It

measured, in duding tail, about ten inches in length. It had a tiny, sharply pointed face with

a small, circular pink nose and a pair of small, glittering, sherry – coloured eyes. The fur,

which was rather long and thick, was deep chocolate brown with a faint ginger tinge her and

there.

Ticky, who was very much the Grande dame, peered out of her cage at the newcomer with

something akin to horror on her face, watering it fascinated as it shrieked and grumbled over

its meat. Ticky was herself a very dainty and fastidious feeder and would never have dreamt

of behaving in this uncouth way, yelling and screaming with your mouth full and generally

carrying on as though you had never had a square meal in your life. She watched the pigmy

for a moment or so and then gave a shift of scorn, turned round elegantly two or three times

and then lay down and went to steep.
