Q1.
C. Match the animals with their sound.
The two columns as the book prints them on page 96. They are not in matching order.
| I | II |
|---|---|
| 1. Tiger | coos |
| 2. Horse | trumpets |
| 3. Elephant | roars |
| 4. Dove | neighs |
| 5. Goat | whoops |
| 6. Monkey | bleats |
Answer
Here are the six correct pairs.
| Animal (I) | Its sound (II) | How we use it |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Tiger | roars | The tiger roars in the forest. |
| 2. Horse | neighs | The horse neighs when it sees its rider. |
| 3. Elephant | trumpets | The elephant trumpets and lifts its trunk. |
| 4. Dove | coos | The dove coos softly on the roof. |
| 5. Goat | bleats | The goat bleats for its kid. |
| 6. Monkey | whoops | The monkey whoops from the branch. |
Why each animal gets its own word: English gives a separate word to each animal’s voice. Many of these words copy the sound itself. A dove really does say something like “coo… coo”, and the elephant’s call is loud and sharp like a trumpet, so we say it trumpets.
Link with this chapter: Hekko means “Challenging the tiger”. The tiger in the story is Aakho. If Aakho were really there, he would roar.
Tip: Do the easy ones first — tiger and elephant. Then only four are left, and the rest become simpler.
