Question

Which of the following is not a characteristic of snakes?

• A. They have a long backbone.
• B. They have muscles attached to the bones.
• C. They move in a straight line.
• D. They tend to slither.

Answer 1

The correct option is C They move in a straight line.

Snakes do not move in a straight line.
The snake’s body curves into many loops when it moves. Each loop gives the snake a forward push. As the long body makes many loops and each loop gives it the required push, the snake moves forward very fast and not in a straightline.
