Part II: Reading Comprehension (Items 46-60)
Directions: Read the following passages and choose the best answer for each question.

Passage 3 (Items 56 – 60)

(1) Located on the east coast of Scotland, St Andrews is known as the 'home of golf,' but it's a
residence shared by some highly disruptive roommates-seagulls. As they circle for food, the
fear of being the unfortunate landing spot for their waste is a constant anxiety, with
several staff and fans already voicing complaints.

(2) Fans navigating the Old Course during the week will be familiar with a pair of hawks, an
Indian eagle-owl, and a tawny eagle. The guardian birds perch on their handler's gloves to scare
off seagulls from the picnic area, as well as the 1st and 18th grandstands. The birds come from
the nearby Elite Falconry, hired for the event, with the handler named John on lunchtime duty for
Thursday's opening round after a flurry of seagull activity during the early morning.

(3) "Without us here, the seagulls would be dive-bombing people trying to steal their food," John
told CNN Sports. Since seagulls are not a typical cuisine of the four birds of prey, they don't fly
around the course and instead sit calmly on their handler's glove for the duration of their watch,
their presence alone enough to frighten away the unwanted visitors.
