7. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given at the end: 10
The camelؓisؓrightlyؓcalledؓtheؓ“shipؓofؓtheؓdesert”. It is the best means of transport in deserts. Camels
go slow. But they go on walking for hours on the burning sand and in the blazing sun. Camels carry heavy
loads, much heavier in weight than any other beast of burden can. While the other animals' feet sink into the
sand, nature has made the feet of the camel such that it is not at all difficult for it to walk on the sand. The
camel is superior to all other animals because it can go without food and water for days and weeks . It can
store food and water. Its hump is also a store of food, which the camel uses when it gets nothing to eat and
drink for many days. In deserts, only bushes grow here and there and the camel can live on these.

QUESTIONS
1. Why isؓtheؓcamelؓcalledؓtheؓ‘shipؓofؓtheؓdesert’?
2. What difficulty do the other beasts of burden have to face while walking on the sand?
3. Why does a camel walk easily on the loose sand of the desert?
4. What special quality makes the camel superior to other animals used for transport?
5. How does the camel go without food and water for days and weeks?
