Read the poem and answer the question.

The forest's sentinel

Glides gently across the hill

And perches in an old pine tree,

A friendly presence his!

No harm can come

From night bird on the prowl.

His call is mellow,

Much softer than a peacock's call.

Why then this fear of owls

Calling in the night?

If men must speak,

Then owls must hoot -

They must have the right.

On me it casts no spell:

Rather, it seems to cry,

"The night is good - all's well, all's well."

• Ruskin Bond

What is the poet talking about in the first stanza? (RL 6.4)

• how the owl comes out in the night

• how the owl catches its prey

• how the owl is looking into the dark night

• how the owl walks

Everywhere around us, there are millions of tiny living things called germs. They are so tiny that they can only be seen under the most powerful microscope. Some of these germs are no wider than twenty-five thousandths of an inch!

Louis Pasteur, the great French scientist, was the first to prove that germs exist. The germs in the air can be counted. The number of germs around us, especially in crowded rooms, is tremendous. Certain scientists counted 42,000 germs in approximately one cubic meter of air in a picture gallery when it was empty. But when the gallery was crowded with people, they founded nearly 5,000,000 germs in the same place. In the open air, germs are less abundant. There are fewer germs in country air than in town air. We see at once how important it is, therefore, to live as much as possible in the open air, and for the rooms we live in to always be well ventilated by fresh air.

According to the passage, where will you find more germs? (RI 6.1)

• In crowded places.

• In the country.

• In hospitals.

• In empty rooms.
