Directions For Questions

[passage-header]Read the passage carefully and answer the following question:[/passage-header]$$1$$ 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.
$$2$$ 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.
$$3$$ 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.

'Be the cat's whiskers.'

A
Think of oneself as a difficult person

Think one is better than others

Think one is elegant like a cat
