II. Reading Comprehension

Read the given story carefully and select correct

options to answer the questions that follow.
Koalas are marsupial (an animal that carries its baby in a
pocket of its skin) mammals, native to Australia. A koala
weighs between 5 and 9 kilos and has soft fur. Their heads
are large and round, and they have strong limbs with sharp
claws to aid them in gripping tree branches. They are rather
dormant animals, and so spend about 75% of their time
sleeping on tree branches during the day. Only when sunset
comes, they start to move around. Koalas move by leaping
from tree to tree or by moving on ground when they travel
longer distances.
Koalas can survive on a diet of eucalyptus leaves, which
provide sufficient water to them, so, they do not drink water.
Female koalas have babies (joeys) once a year, and about six
in their lifetime. A new-born joey, crawls into its mother’s
pouch and stays there for the next six months, surviving on
milk from its mother. By a year, the joey is independent, and
then survives on its own.
During the last century, the koala was almost made extinct
because its fur was in great demand. Additionally, loss of
natural habitat due to housing development, has made their
survival difficult. Luckily, there are many conservation
programmes in place today, to ensure the survival of the
koala.
