Correct answer: D. They control herbivore numbers

Carnivores keep herbivore numbers balanced through predation. Exam tip: connect carnivores with balance.

Correct answer: A. Herbivore

A deer mainly eats grass, leaves, tender shoots and other plant material, so it is a herbivore. Carnivores feed on the flesh of other animals, which deer do not eat. Exam tip: classify animals according to their main food source.

Correct answer: B. Carnivore

The direct answer is B: a tiger is a carnivore. A carnivore is an animal whose natural diet mainly includes the flesh of other animals. The reasoning is simple: a tiger hunts animals such as deer or wild boar, eats their flesh, and therefore belongs to the carnivore group. Option A, herbivore, is wrong because herbivores mainly eat plants, while a tiger does not live on grass or leaves. Option B is correct because hunting and eating other animals are characteristic carnivorous features. Option C, only insectivore, is wrong because an insectivore mainly eats insects, whereas insects are not the tiger’s only or principal food. Option D, only aquatic, is wrong because a tiger is a land-dwelling mammal, although it can swim and may enter water. Exam cue: classify animals by their usual food, not by an occasional action.

Correct answer: A. In picking food and drinking water

An elephant’s trunk is a long, flexible nose formed by the joining of its nose and upper lip. It is strong enough to pull leaves and branches, yet sensitive enough to pick up small pieces of food. The elephant can also use the trunk like a tube to draw up water and then place the water into its mouth. Thus, the trunk performs several important daily functions.

The question asks for a useful function of the trunk. Picking up food and drinking water directly match the normal uses of this body part, so option A is correct. Flying, weaving webs, and making snow are unrelated choices. Remembering the body part together with its function helps avoid confusing the elephant with animals that have very different adaptations.
