READING COMPREHENSION
EJERCICIO DE COMPRENSIÓN LECTORA
Instrucciones: A continuación se presenta un pasaje seguido por declaraciones basadas en su contenido. Después de leerlo, seleccione la mejor opción, basándose en lo que los pasajes afirman o implican. Luego marque el espacio de la letra correspondiente.
The most common deer in India is one of two species of axis deer, known as the chital (the Hindustani name) and those who know it well claim it is the most beautiful deer in the world. Usually the beauty of a species of deer depends on the fine head of antlers the stags can attain. The beauty of the chital lies in its coat, which is bright reddish-brown with lines of conspicuous white spots, set off by the white underparts and the insides of the ears. The antlers are slender and have few branches, or tines, compared with the red deer or the wapiti. The chital, also known as the spotted deer, is unusual in that the stags shed their antlers at all times of the year and the fawns can be born at all times. Their body-size varies from one area of the range to another. In northern and central India the chital stands up to 3 feet at the shoulder, in southern India it seldom exceeds 2 and a half feet.
There is another deer living alone, or in parties of up to 18, on the grassy plains of northern India and Burma, and in some parts of Ceylon. It is known as the hog deer for its squat, pig-like appearance and movements. Its legs are short, its body smaller and stouter than that of the chital, and it runs head down, not bounding like other deer. Yet it is an axis deer, a close relative of the chital, in spite of its being so different. Its coat, for example, is brown with a yellowish or reddish tinge, and has a speckled appearance, because some of the hairs have white tips. Also, the antlers are small and set on long bony stalks or pedicels. But its young are spotted and, surprisingly, it readily interbreeds with the chital.
1. Which of the following statements Express the main idea of the pasaje?
a. Characteristics of axis deer
b. The two kinds of antlers.
c. The different sizes of deers
d. Indian’s deer.

a. shape of their hindlegs.

3. In line 6 the Word slender, as used in the pasaje, means
a. Strong and heavy
b. Peak and breakable
c. Having little force.
d. small in amount or extent
e. little width in proportion to the height
