Which of the following things do not grow? (a) Leaves (b) mosquitoes (c) the moon (d) all of these
Answers
Answer:
(c) the moon
Explanation:
The moon does not grow
The correct answer is (option C) the moon.
• Moon is the earth’s sole natural satellite and nearest celestial body which is a spherical rocky body, probably with a small metallic core, revolving around Earth in a slightly eccentric orbit. In simple words, our planet earth has only one moon, which is the biggest and brightest object in the night sky.
• Leaves always have a definite growth. They grow to a specific shape and pattern and then their growth stops. Other plant parts like roots and stems have non-definite growth and usually continue to grow as long as they have the resources to do so.
• Mosquitoes too can grow. They go through four life stages and they are: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. They are capable of both indoor and outdoor living and reproduction. The entire life cycle of an egg to an adult takes eight to ten days approximately.
Thus, (option C) the moon is the correct answer.
