    [passage-header]Read the passage carefully and answer the following question:[/passage-header]11 One would imagine that at the very first sight of the panther, deer, antelopes, and its other preys would just run for their lives. But nothing of this sort happens. They all stand their ground and make such a loud noise that the panther is left with no other choice but to leave quietly. I have seen a tiny chital baby standing in the middle of an opening in the forest, stamping its feet on the ground and shooing away a tiger. With the white of its erect tail showing, it kept up its shrill call until the tiger made itself scarce. No tiger in its senses would attempt to catch such an impertinent brat, just as you would not dream of catching an offending crow cawing away in your verandah.
    22 While the panther sticks to cover and hugs the edge of the forest, the game animals, on the other hand, like to assemble right out in open vast grazing grounds. Open spaces, which the panther carefully avoids, are what the game animals deliberately seek.
    33 It is difficult to describe the pandemonium kicked up by various animals when they spot or suspect a panther around. The chital strikes a shrill note, the kakar emits a deafening bark and the sambar rings a bell. The peacock on its perch, the jungle fowl on the ground, and the monkey on treetops, all join in the chorus of condemnation.

    [passage-header]Read the passage and answer the question that follow:[/passage-header]
    It could be a scene straight out of a horror film, but it was a reality in suburban Mumbai. Rain lashed on the ground. A hundred children wailed in terror in a cramped, dark hall. Water gushed in from all sides and inched up. The inmates of Additional Bal Griha of the Children's Aid Society, mostly terrified children, sang their daily prayer: "Itni Shakti Humme Dena Data". Asma, however, was the odd one out. She started calculating how soon the children will start drowning ."I could only think of one thing: I couldn't bear to see the smaller ones drown. I am their didi." She picked up two of the smaller kids and jumped into the water - nearly five feet of dirty, black liquid ."I didn't know how to swim. So, slowly I moved across the slippery ground, keeping my head up to keep the water from getting into my mouth and nose." She made over a dozen such trips, carrying nearly 40 kids on her shoulders to safety. Wasn't she scared? "Nothing scares me." Why didn't any of the other inmates join her? "Oh well, I'm the tallest." The girl doesn't know who or where her parents are ("Kya pata," she says.) Nor does she care to know about her life history from the orphanage files. But Asma certainly knows more about parenting than most. She loves to watch TV serials.
