Q.1) Read the passage and answer the following. (5m)
You may have heard about a great human friend of ours– Dr Salim Ali. He had even
suggested that we should be given the status of the ‘National Bird’ of our country but the honour
went to our beautiful relative - the peacock. I am happy to tell you that I am the State bird of
Rajasthan. We have got ten sanctuaries for our protection but sadly, our number is still going
down. We used to live in all parts of India. But slowly the growing population of man pushed us
away from more than 90 percent of our home regions. We are afraid of hunters that kill us for
fun. We also die due to electric power-lines that we can’t see while flying. We are losing our
homes. Today, only the last 200 of us are left in the world. We need your support and love in
order to survive. Can you help us?
