    Correct Answer
    A. Early winter
    Explanation
    Birds migrate from the southern regions to the northern ones during early winter. This is because during this time, the weather in the northern regions becomes more favorable for the birds. The availability of food and nesting sites also increases during early winter, making it a suitable time for birds to migrate and establish new territories. Additionally, migrating during early winter allows birds to avoid harsh weather conditions and find better breeding opportunities in the northern regions.

    Correct Answer
    A. In groups
    Explanation
    Migrating birds fly in groups because it offers them several advantages. Flying in groups helps them conserve energy by taking turns leading the formation and reducing wind resistance. It also provides safety in numbers, making it harder for predators to target individual birds. Additionally, flying in groups allows for better navigation and communication, as birds can follow the lead of more experienced individuals and exchange important information about food sources and weather conditions.

    Correct Answer
    A. In danger
    Explanation
    Migrating birds are in danger because they face numerous threats during their long journeys. These threats include habitat loss, climate change, pollution, hunting, and collisions with man-made structures such as buildings and power lines. These factors make their survival and successful migration challenging. Therefore, the correct answer is "in danger" as it accurately reflects the vulnerable state of migrating birds.

    • A.

      Birds slept in the mud throughout the winter

    • B.

      Most birds died in winter

    • C.

      Birds flew away to warmer places

    • D.

      Birds moved from place to place when seasons changed

    Correct Answer
    A. Birds slept in the mud throughout the winter
    Explanation
    In early times, people believed that birds slept in the mud throughout the winter. This belief may have been based on observations of birds huddling together in groups on the ground during colder months. Additionally, the belief could have been influenced by the fact that many bird species become less active during winter and may seek shelter in protected areas such as mud or burrows. However, we now know that birds have various strategies to survive winter, including migration, hibernation, and finding suitable habitats with food and shelter.
