Q.1. Read the following passage carefully. (8x1=8)
The ant is a very small insect, but it is very intelligent and hard-working. It is wiser than any fly or earthworm. The
story of an ant's life sounds almost untrue as it is too remarkable. But watching the behaviour of the commonest ant can
teach us a lot.

The ants can be black or red. They live comfortably, in large and high homes called 'nests' or 'anthills'. Each home has
hundreds of rooms and paths. In some of these rooms the queen ant lays eggs. Other rooms are used as nurseries for the
young ones called 'grubs'. Workers and soldiers have separate rooms. Soldiers live in barracks. Some rooms are used as
store houses. No worker can hurt a young one. They live in peace. Each one does its share of work intelligently and
bravely.

The queen ant is the head of the family. It lives for about 15 years. It has a pair of wings which it bites off after its
wedding flight. And then it does nothing but lay eggs. Eggs are hatched. Grubs are out. Workers feed and clean them.
They are carried about daily for airing and sun bath. A couple of weeks lets grubs become cocoons which break in three
weeks. Perfect ants appear. They have to be trained to do their duties. The ants use their feelers to talk to other ants.
They pass on messages through them. An anthill is a home not for ants alone. Some other creatures like beetles and the
green fly also live in it. Some of them give out sweet smell while others give sweet juices. The green fly gives them
milk.

Human beings can learn a lot from this small teacher. We can learn from them hard work, sense of duty and discipline,
cleanliness, loyalty and care for the young ones.
