Section C - English (Total marks 50)

Q.1 Read the following comprehension passage and answer the questions
Next time you see a pigeon flying across the sky, look at it carefully! Is it holding a can?
Or a camera? Or wearing a backpack? If it's a carrier pigeon, it just might be a working
bird. Carrier pigeons can be trained to carry messages to people. The note is placed
into a small skinny can. The can is tied to the pigeons leg. Then the pigeon flies off to
deliver the note. Carrier pigeons are good messengers because theyre fast and can fly
long distances. They also have a good sense of direction. They can even reach places
that people cant. More than 800 years ago, Genghis Khan, an Asian ruler set up
pigeon post offices across his lands! As recently as 2010, Cuba used pigeons to send
election results to its mountain people. In 2006, a group of scientists used pigeons to
study air pollution in California. Special backpacks with miniature cell phones were
strapped onto pigeons. As the pigeons flew, machines in the backpacks tested to see
what gases were in the air. The cell phones sent information about the air to the
scientists.
