FOR QUESTIONS 21 TO 25, READ THE PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.
The Loggerhead Sea Turtle is named so because of its large head and blunt jaw.
This huge sea turtle can grow up to 800 pounds and three and a half feet in length. It is the largest hard-shelled turtle in the world. While the carapace (shell) and flippers are reddish brown in colour, the plastron (lower shell) has a yellowish hue.
The carapace has five lateral scutes and five central scutes. Scutes are hexagonal sections of the carapace. The under parts of its body are white or whitish in colour.
These wonderful turtles have powerful flippers that can propel them through the water at a speed of up to 16 miles per hour. The Loggerhead Sea Turtle has a life span of up to 50 years in the wild.
Loggerhead Sea Turtles consume fish, crustaceans, mollusks, crabs and jellyfish.
They use their powerful jaws to crush the prey.
The female Loggerhead Sea Turtle generally lays eggs on the same beach in which she was born. It may take up to 30 years before these turtles reach reproductive age. In June or July, females will emerge from the ocean and dig a hole in the sand. Around 70 to 150 eggs are laid in the hole. The female uses her hind flippers to cover the hole. The eggs are about the size of ping pong balls and hatch within 65 days. Upon hatching, young turtles naturally head towards the ocean. Many of these young turtles are taken as prey by opportunistic gulls, vultures and raccoons.
Others are led in the wrong direction by lights from roads and beach houses, which the turtles mistake as moonlight. Those that are lucky enough to make it to the water are swept towards the open ocean by waves and sea currents.

FOR QUESTIONS 26 TO 30, READ THE PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.
Science had made bewildering strides in many directions during recent decades, but this thing seemed to belong to the domain of miracle rather than to scientific achievement.
“And do you really ask us to believe”, Sir Wilfrid was saying, “that you have discovered a means for instructing animals in the art of human speech, and that dear old Tobermory has proved your first successful pupil?”
“It is a problem at which I have worked for the last seventeen years,” said Mr.
Appin, “but only during the last eight or nine months have I been rewarded with glimmerings of success. Of course, I have experimented with thousands of animals, but latterly only with cats, those wonderful creatures which have assimilated themselves so marvelously with our civilisation while retaining all their highly developed feral instincts. Here and there among cats one comes across an outstanding superior intellect, just as one does among the ruck of human beings, and when I made the acquaintance of Tobermory a week ago, I saw at once that.
I was in contact with a “Beyond-cat” of extraordinary intelligence. I had gone far along the road to success in recent experiments; with Tobermory, as you call him,
I have reached the goal.”
