Reading Comprehension

Q) Read the Passage and Answer the Questions below.

The natural life span of a domesticated horse is about 25–30 years, 10 years down from what it was in the wild. You can tell a horse’s age from the number of teeth he has. They get all their teeth by the age of 5, after which those teeth just get longer. Horses have close to 360 degree all round vision. The only place they cannot see is directly behind or right in front of them, which is why it’s dangerous to stand behind a horse. If they feel something behind them, they may kick first and ask questions later! It also means that they cannot see a jump once they are about four feet from it, and have to rely on memory as to its height and shape! Each of the horse’s two eyes works independently wherever a horse’s ear points it is the direction where the horse is looking. A horse is able to sleep standing up as he is able to lock his leg muscles so that he doesn’t fall asleep.
