5. Why are domestic cats able to survive in the wild?

Explanation

Domestic cats are able to survive in the wild because they have a good body structure and hunting instincts. Their body structure, including sharp teeth and claws, allows them to catch prey and defend themselves against predators. Additionally, their hunting instincts, which have been honed through generations of domestication, enable them to effectively locate and capture food in the wild. While being a member of the Felidae family and being domesticated may contribute to their survival, it is primarily their body structure and hunting instincts that allow them to thrive in the wild.

6. Death is inevitable so we should always expect it. It can come at any age, time or place. It does not respect age, race or social class either. If death is unavoidable, then why should we cry when loved ones die and go to rest? They are finally leaving the cruel world of diseases, poverty and rejection. We should be happy that they are finally going to the promised land. Use the passage to answer the questions. Why should we always expect death? We should not wear clothes of grief, rather we should smile happily to the departed souls going to the world of no return. If we find ourselves at the verge of death, we should not be afraid, we should be strong and accept the quietness of death, we should not fight it, we should not let it consume our last days, because death is the only destiny all men share.

Explanation

The passage states that death is inevitable, meaning that it is something that cannot be avoided or escaped. It emphasizes that death can come at any age, time, or place, and does not discriminate based on age, race, or social class. The passage suggests that since death is unavoidable, there is no reason to cry when loved ones die and go to rest, as they are finally leaving behind the hardships of the world and going to a better place. Therefore, the answer "It is inevitable" aligns with the information provided in the passage.
