Answers

  1. D
    1. Question Statement: The plant preys on animals that live in water.

    2. Passage: “The plant is so advanced that it can tell the difference between live stimulus and non-living stimulus.”
    3. Remember, this isn’t about only matching word for word. This is about matching meaning. This whole passage is about how plants trap their prey (food). This means that “non-living stimulus” refers to something inedible.

    2. Passage: “Insects are attracted by colour, smell and a nectar-like secretion”
  5. D
    1. Question Statement: The plant is known for its speed in trapping prey.
    2. Passage: “The trap closes in only 10 milliseconds, making it one of the fastest examples of plant movement in the animal kingdom.”
  6. A
    1. Question Statement: The soporific effect of the nectar can cause prey to tumble into the plant’s trap.
    2. Passage: Slippery footings, aided in at least one species, by a narcotic drug lacing the nectar, causes insects to fall inside where they die and are digested.
  7. B
    1. Question Statement: The plant is capable of trapping creatures large than an average insect.
    2. Passage: “….some larger species, such as Nepenthes Rafflesiana and Nepenthes Rajah, have been documented to catch small mammals like rats.”

    By the way Liz, I wonder if we can sponsor your website to keep it up.

    • You can find more reading exercise in the Reading Section of this site. I put a link on the page above, just below the answers. You can also access the main sections through the HOME page or the RED MENU BAR at the top of the site.
      Thanks for offering to support my site. Just recommending it is enough. I do have two e-books and some Advanced Lessons which I sell in my online store and that is enough for me to keep this site going 🙂

    I have not seen my scores?

    • Funny. I read each and every comment that goes public on my site and I click “approve” to make each comment public. So, your comment will not be made public instantaneously. It will not surprise you to find that I occasionally go to the toilet and am not glued to my screen every second of every hour of every day. Learn patience my friend 🙂
