The road in front of my school is a narrow one. It is also very busy. Every afternoon when school is dismissed the road becomes almost impassable as children, bicycles, cars and buses jostle and struggle to use it. Sometimes a policeman is there to help things out, but generally chaos reigns and we have to be careful not to get involved in an accident. A few accidents had already occurred. I was a witness to one. It happened just after school. As usual the road was an utter mad house. Children were running across the road to get to their cars and buses. Cars and buses honked angrily at them. Just then I saw a young boy make a dash across the road. There was a loud blare of horn, a squeal of brakes and I saw a car knock into the boy. He fell as though his feet were swept from under him. Fortunately the car was not moving very fast and the driver managed to stop the car before a wheel could run over the fallen boy. All traffic stopped. I ran over to the boy and saw blood on the road. He was bleeding from a cut on his head. A man came and examined the boy. Then he lifted the boy and carried him to a car. They sped off, presumably to the hospital. Many people surrounded the driver who looked dazed and bewildered. A policeman came to calm things down.

The king cobra is the largest venomous snake in the world. It has special muscles and ribs in its neck that spread out to form a "hood" when the cobra feels threatened. This makes the snake look bigger than it really is, and may help scare away predators. King cobras make a deep, loud hissing sound. Like the rattle of the rattlesnake, the hiss is a warning signal that can be heard from a distance. The message is: "I am big, bad, and will bite you if you come any closer!" Most cobras are known to protect their eggs after laying them, but the female king cobra does even more. She uses her body and head to move leaves around to build a nest. After she lays her eggs, she covers them with more leaves, and stays on top of the nest until the eggs hatch.Source: http://kids.sandiegozoo.orgThe king cobra is the largest venomous snake in the word.

Correct Answer

Explanation
The word "poisonous" can replace the underlined word "venomous" because both words refer to the ability of the snake's venom to harm or kill its prey or predators.

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER In a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest. "Why not come and chat with me," said the Grasshopper, "instead of toiling and moiling in that way?" "I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the Ant, "and recommend you to do the same." "Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; "We have got plenty of food at present." But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had no food and found itself dying of hunger - while it saw the ants distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew: It is best to prepare for days of need. What can we learn from the story ?
Correct Answer
D. Don't waste the time.
Explanation
The correct answer is "Don't waste the time." This answer is supported by the story of the Ant and the Grasshopper. The Grasshopper spends its time singing and enjoying the present without preparing for the future, while the Ant works hard to gather food for the winter. When winter comes, the Grasshopper suffers from hunger while the Ant is well-prepared. Therefore, the moral of the story is to not waste time and to prepare for future needs.
