Solution

The correct option is C Mallard

Birds which can see behind them will be able to see the hunter coming and escape from his trap.

The eyes of most birds are positioned at the sides of their heads. Most birds can see to the sides better than to the front, and can’t see behind them at all.

Birds such as mallards have their eyes positioned high up on the sides of their heads.

This allows them to see all around them, including behind them. So mallard can escape from the hunter's trap.

Q. Passage 1:

Long ago, in a jungle with a big tree in the lap of the mountain, there lived a bird named Sindhuka. It was rather a unique bird, as its droppings turned into gold as soon as it touched the earth.

One unfortunate day, a hunter reached the tree exploring for prey, and he saw Sindhuka's droppings hit the ground and turn into gold. The hunter began to Pounder. He whispered to himself, "Hunting has been my work since I was a small boy; in the span of eighty hunting years, I have never witnessed such a miraculous animal. He settled to catch the bird. He ascended the tree and skilfully set an entrapment for the bird. The bird, quite unaware of its danger, stayed on the tree and sang merrily. But, soon, it seized in the hunter's snag. The hunter instantly grabbed it and pushed it into a cell.

The hunter carried the bird residence. He suddenly realised, "If the ruler learns about the hunt, he will undoubtedly take away the bird and might even retaliate me for possessing such an infrequent treasure all to myself. Hence, it would be better if I were to go to the ruler and offer the unusual bird to him," The subsequent day, the hunter carried the bird to the King and delivered it to him in court with remarkable reverence. The ruler was overjoyed to accept such a unique and occasional offering. He conveyed his courtiers to maintain the bird secure and provide it with the best available nourishment.

However, the King's prime minister was hesitant to receive the bird. He said, "O King, how can you acknowledge the expression of a foolish hunter? Has anyone in our empire ever caught a bird dropping gold? The hunter must be either outlandish or speaking untruths. I believe it is best to free the bird from the cell." After some introspection, the King sensed that his prime minister was right. So he instructed the bird to be unleashed. But as soon as the cell's entrance was thrown loose, the bird flew out, roosted itself on a nearby entry and defecated. To everyone's astonishment, the dropping instantly turned into gold. The King lamented his loss.
