We as humans can see the color blue. What animal can see that color as well?
- Dog
- Cat
- Monkey
- Owl
Correct Answer

A. Dog

Explanation

Dogs can see the color blue just like humans. While they have fewer color receptors than humans, they can still perceive blue and some other colors. Dogs have dichromatic vision, meaning they see a limited range of colors compared to humans' trichromatic vision. However, they can still detect blue and differentiate it from other colors. This is why blue toys or objects may catch a dog's attention. Cats, monkeys, and owls, on the other hand, have different types of color vision and may not perceive blue in the same way.

Dogs have the ability to blink one eye at a time, unlike other animals listed in the options. This is due to the structure of their eyelids and the muscles surrounding them.

A blind man's eyes are similar to those of the -------------?
- Eagle
- Millipede
- Worm
- Bull
Correct Answer

A. Eagle

Explanation

A blind man's eyes are similar to those of an eagle because both rely on other senses to navigate their surroundings. Like a blind man, an eagle has highly developed hearing and can use sound to locate prey. Additionally, both rely on their sense of touch to gather information about their environment. Just as a blind man uses a cane or his hands to feel for obstacles, an eagle uses its talons to grasp and feel objects. Therefore, an eagle is the most suitable option for a comparison to a blind man's eyes.
