IV. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the following questions.

Watching for wildlife in the forests, we rarely see past the surface of things. Standing on the ground
floor, we scan the leafy rafters, entirely overlooking the living world in the soil beneath our feet. The
forest's basement is a secret world. As different from our own world as water is from air, the soil seems
quiet, even dead. But life bustles down below: a cubic inch of top soil may contain billions of creatures.
Predators and prey roam beneath as well as above the forest floor. Furthermore, those upstairs and
downstairs forest denizens live closed linked lives. Soil-dwelling bacteria and fungi break down dead
organic matter into molecules that above ground plants use for food. Those plants as well as animals,
mature and die, leaving more organic matter to fuel the folks downstairs.

Like a well-insulated house, the soil protects its tenants from extreme temperatures, and from rain and
snow. It also provides a bulwark against predators that roam the surface world. But the dense, protecting
soil also limits mobility. Soil creatures must be specially equipped in order to travel easily through their
dark, constricting realm. Earthworms and ants are the champion earth-movers, creating channels that
allow air and water to enter the soil. While ants travel relatively far from their nests, earthworms work
small areas, reprocessing vast amounts of soil into fertile "waste". In a single year, as much as 36 tons of
soil may pass through the alimentary tracts of all the earthworms living in an acre of soil.

quiet, even dead. But life bustles down below: a cubic inch of top soil may contain billions of creatures.

particles from paint are absorbed into bloodstream when the children ingest flakes of chipped paint, plaster
