I. Read the following text and answer the questions using complete sentences
Octopuses are extremely intelligent. They have even learnt a few tricks to get them out of
sticky situations, as for example, when it is afraid of a predator. As octopuses don’t have teeth or
sharp claws to defend themselves, they hide themselves in the sand on the bottom of the ocean
floor. Do you want to know how they do that? Well, the octopus is like a chameleon because it can
change the color of its skin to match the sand. This color change happens in less than a minute.
Some octopuses like to stay in more shallow water where there are rocks and coral.
Because octopuses are invertebrates, they can squeeze themselves into small spaces between
the rocks to get out of reach of predators. Another way an octopus can hide is by shooting ink. An

octopus uses a part of its body called a siphon to shoot ink into the water. The ink forms a cloud
that hides the octopus. It’s like a magician doing a vanishing act.
If an octopus is being attacked, it can actually make itself look like a venomous sea snake.
It will bury itself in the sand, keeping two arms visible. It will change the color of those arms to
match a sea snake. But if there’s no time to hide? If an octopus is in trouble, it can break off one of
its arms. The arm will then change colors and squirm around the water to distract the predator
while the octopus swims away to safety. Don’t worry though. The octopus’s arm will grow back.
