Whales are the largest animals in the world, even larger than some species of dinosaurs. Ironically, whales are among the gentlest creatures we know. There are people who go through great lengths to help them

One such case occurred in 1988, when three young whales were trapped in the sea. It was close to winter and the sea had begun to freeze over. Whales are mammals that require oxygen from the air, so the frozen ice was a great danger as it prevented them from getting any air. All they had was a tiny hole in the ice for them to breathe through. Volunteers from all over soon turned up to help these creatures. They cut holes in the ice so as to provide more breathing holes for the whales. These holes would also serve as guides for the whales so that they could swim to warmer waters. This effort was a success although one whale drowned

Although the whale is very huge, it is not hindered at all by its size when it is in water. Whales have tails that end like flippers. With just a gentle flick, it can propel itself forward. The skin of a whale is so smooth that it does not create any friction that can slow the whale down. A whale's breathing hole is located on the top of its head, so it can breathe without having to completely push its head out of
the water. It is also thus able to gulp its food down without breathing in any water. Whales are protected from the cold seawater by body fat that is called blubber. This is so effective that a whale can even get overheated in the cold temperatures of the sea

Whales live in the ocean but in terms of behavior, they are more similar to humans than fish. They live in family groups and they even travel in groups when they have to migrate from cooler to warmer waters. The young stay with their parents for as long as fifteen years.Whales are known not to desert the ill or injured members; instead, they cradle them. Moreover, female whales have very strong maternal instincts

I .By using the word 'ironically' in the second sentence, the writer suggests

(A) it is not true that whales are very gentle

(B) whales may not be as gentle as they 100k

(D) it is difficult to believe whales are gentle despite their humungous size

.Winter poses such a danger to whales because 'Aithev cannot swim in icv cold water

Read the followinq passage and answer the questions

Mrs. Brown loved living in the mountains with the animals and birds Her favorite was the lyre bird that lived in her garden. Every day she said "hello boy" to the bird, and the bird her greeting back. He also
used to jump onto a platform she had built. The lyre bird would lift his long, long tail feathers over his head and sway from side to side as he sang his songs. He mimicked other animals that lived there — a parrot's laugh, a cat's purr - and even two men talking

The parrot lived in a tree outside Mrs. Brown's front door. He used to laugh every morning when she outside, and it was this sound the lyre bird would copy. There was also the black and white cat that had
grown up with the parrot. They were the of friends and often enjoyed the rnorning sunshine together

One day Mrs. Brown got sick. She was sick for a very long time. During that time the lyre bird built a mound of soil and twigs outside her bedroom window. Every day Mrs. Brown's friend came and stood on the mound, and sang to her there. The cat and the parrot also joined the lyrebird, and together the three of them would wait patiently for her to get up and come to the window. Mrs. Brown slowly got and after a while she was back outside enjoying nature again. She believed the singing from the lyre bird, the laughing of the parrot and the purring of the cat helped her to recover
