Q 8. The number of hedgehog species already identified.
Answer:
C
Part of the passage
For one thing, scientists think they haven’t even discovered all the
hedgehog species. We know of at least 14,’ says hedgehog researcher Nigel Reeve of
Britain’s University of Surrey Roehampton.
Q 9. The name given to baby hedgehogs.
Answer:
D
Part of the passage
Still, it’s fair to say that, in adulthood, hedgehogs meet primarily
to mate, producing litters of four or five
hoglets
as often as twice yearly.

Q 10. The study conducted in 1977 revealed a possible reason why
Answer:
B hedgehogs chew poisonous animal skins.
Part of the passage Par F
Evidence suggests that
hedgehogs may also add un-
pleasant chemicals to their quills to make them even less appealing
. In behaviour that
may be unique fora vertebrate,
they

chew substances laden with toxins and then apply
frothy saliva to their entire bodies
….volunteers pricked themselves with quills from
hedgehogs that had coated themselves
after chewing on venomous toad skins. The
volunteers found those quills much more imitating and painful than clean ones.
Q 11. In Britain, which of the following has NOT been done to protect hedge-
hogs?
Answer:
B Imposing fines for littering in areas where hedgehogs live.
Explanation:
This is a slightly more challenging question as you have to find the option which is
NOT given in the passage. For this, you need to find all three which are true according to the passage. This can be time-consuming, but that’s the only way. Luckily, the main idea of Par G is about how the British went about protecting these hedgehogs.
