“I didn’t get any real results,” he said. “But I went ahead and showed that I had tried the experiment. This time I won.” The next year his science fair project was testing the theory that viceroy butterflies copy monarchs. The theory was that viceroys look like monarchs because monarchs don’t taste good to birds. Viceroys, on the other hand, do taste good to birds. So, the more they look like monarchs, the less likely they are to become a bird’s dinner. Ebright’s project was to see whether, in fact, birds would eat monarchs. He found that a starling would not eat ordinary bird food. It would eat all the monarchs it could get. i.Choose the option listing Ebright’s qualities as depicted by the above extract. 1. persevering 2. visionary 3. determined 4. liberal 5. conceited a) 1, 2 b) 3, 5 c) 1, 3 d) 4, 5 ii.

Choose the option that is true for the two statements given about the information in the extract. Statement 1- Starling feeds on viceroys. Statement 2- Starling does not eat seeds and insects. a) Both statements are clearly mentioned in the extract. b) Statement 1 cannot be clearly inferred from the text and statement 2 is true. c) Statement 1 is false and statement 2 cannot be clearly inferred from the extract. d) Bothe statements need to be inferred from the given extract. iv.
