Section – A (Reading – 10 marks)

A.1 Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below. (10)

Bird watching is a hobby that can be taken up by anyone, no matter where you live. Once you start taking notice of the birds around you, you’ll realize that many birds live even in the busiest cities. But natural areas are the best locations for serious bird watching. You can find birds like geese, ducks, storks and cranes around bodies of water. Most of the birds spend their time along the shore. Forests are home to a number of birds, but you will need a good eye to spot them among the branches and leaves. An open field area also offers bird watching opportunities. Sparrows, larks and other birds frequently visit the grassy fields. And don’t forget your own backyard. A well-kept bird feeder in your garden can attract a large number of birds right to your doorstep.
