1. Q1. What overall tone does the author adopt towards the keeping of animals in the zoo?

   • A. Humorous and mocking the animals
   • B. Neutral, giving only scientific facts
   • C. Proud and celebrating of the zoo
   • D. Critical and sympathetic towards the caged animals
   Solution

   The author writes with a critical and sympathetic tone, questioning the practice of caging animals and pitying their condition rather than praising the zoo.

2. Q2. Match the pair correctly. (i) Cage (ii) Wild (iii) Visitor (iv) Freedom (a) Natural home of the animal (b) Lost by the captive animal (c) The barred space of confinement (d) One who comes to watch

   • A. (i)-(c), (ii)-(a), (iii)-(d), (iv)-(b)
   • B. (i)-(a), (ii)-(c), (iii)-(b), (iv)-(d)
   • C. (i)-(b), (ii)-(d), (iii)-(a), (iv)-(c)
   • D. (i)-(d), (ii)-(b), (iii)-(c), (iv)-(a)
   Solution

   A cage is the barred confinement, the wild is the animal's natural home, a visitor comes to watch, and freedom is what the captive animal has lost.

3. Q3. A student says, 'The animals in the zoo are like criminals being punished.' Based on the chapter, why is this comparison not fully fair?

   • A. The animals are actually set free every evening
   • B. The animals have committed no crime yet are still locked up
   • C. The animals are given a trial before being caged
   • D. The animals enjoy their cages more than criminals enjoy jail
   Solution

   Criminals are jailed for committing a crime, but the animals have done no wrong and still lose their freedom, which is why the chapter makes us pity them.

4. Q4. Which of the following is the 'odd one out' when describing the life of animals inside the zoo?

   • A. Living in confinement
   • B. Feeling bored and restless
   • C. Depending on humans for food
   • D. Roaming freely in the open
   Solution

   Confinement, boredom and dependence describe zoo life, but roaming freely belongs to wild life, so it is the odd one out.

5. Q5. Assertion (A): The zoo is called a 'prison' for animals in the chapter. Reason (R): In the zoo the animals are kept behind bars and cannot move about freely. Choose the correct option.

   • A. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
   • B. A is true but R is false
   • C. A is false but R is true
   • D. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
   Solution

   Both A and R are true, and the loss of free movement behind bars is exactly why the zoo is compared to a prison.
