, Question 1: PROSE Read the following story and answer the question that
follows it. EAGLE’S QUEST A long time ago when pigs could still fly and
animals could speak with authority, Eagle, the queen of the skies, was the
leader of all birds and the heavens. She flew higher in the sky than everyone
and ruled ably over her people. During those times, a huge crisis came to be:
there was no food due to drought, and the forests were catching fire because
of human beings. Eagle knew she had to do something for her people in order
for them to survive. So, she called for her faithful warriors Owl and Falcon to
help her. “Friends”, she said, “our land is destroyed, and our people are
hungry. We need to find a new home with plenty of food.” Owl responded, “I
have heard of a place far away where the rivers are full of fish and the skies
are clear to soar. But it's a long and dangerous journey, my queen. We will
have to fly over steep mountains, dark caves, and wide dry deserts.” Falcon
responded, “I will fly ahead to scope out the path, but we need to hurry
because our people are dying. The journey will be difficult and we must
prepare to face many challenges.” And so, the three birds began the long
journey. They flew over mountains and valleys unknown, through heavy
storms and under the scorching hot sun. They met many dangers along the
way, like fierce hawks and sharp rocks. But they worked together and used
their skills to overcome them. One day, they came to a wide desert. There
was no food or water there, and the sun was very hot. Eagle said to her
companions, “We need shelter to rest. Let us work together and combine our
strengths to make one.” They nodded in agreement. ENG2613

and Falcon used his speed to gather sticks and leaves. Eagle used her strong
wings to build a shelter. They rested and recovered, and later they continued
their journey. Finally, after many days of traveling, they reached the new land.
It was as beautiful as Owl had said and had plenty of food for all the birds in
Eagle’s kingdom. The three birds now knew what dangers to look out for on
the path to the new land, so they were able to escort their people safely there.
Eagle, Owl, and Falcon were declared heroes of the Eagle Kingdom. 1) In an
