Section –A [Reading] [4 marks] Read the following passage: Most animals have their own Habitat but some make incredible Journeys from one region to another. These Journeys are called migration and they take place at particular seasons of the year. Birds are the best known migrants but many fishes, insects and mammals also migrate to and from breeding grounds and seasonal feeding grounds.They know by instinct which way to go. They are also guided by the sun, the stars and the earth’s magnetic field. Nobody comes to Novastoshnah except on business and the only people who have regular business there are the seals. They come in the summer months by hundreds and hundreds of thousands out of the cold grey sea; for Novastoshnah Beach has the finest accomodation for seals of any place in the world. Sea Catch knew that, and every spring would swim from whatever place he happened to be in would swim like a torpedo – boat straight for Novastoshnah, and spend a month fighting with his companions for a good place on the rocks as close to the sea as possible. Sea Catch was fifteen years old a huge grey fur – seal with almost mane on his shoulders, and long, wicked dog teeth. He was scarred all over with the mark of savage fights, but he was always ready for just one fight more. I haven’t been doing anything but fight since the middle of May. The beach is disgracefully crowded this season. Now that all the seals at their wives were on the land, you could hear their clamour miles out to sea above the loudest gales. Kotick, Matkah’s baby, was born in the middle of that confusion, and he was all head and shoulders, with pail, watery blue eyes, as tiny seals must be; but there was something about his coat that made this mother look at him very closely. “Sea Catch”, she had at last, “our baby is going to be white!” ‘Empty clam shells and dry seaweed!’ snorted Sea Catch. ‘There never has been such a thing in the world as a white seal’. 1.
