Question 8 (5 points) (from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling)
Read the passage carefully and then answer the question.
It was Darzee, the tailor-bird, and his wife. They had made a beautiful nest by pulling two big leaves together and stitching them up the edges
with fibres, and had filled the hollow with cotton and downy fluff. The nest swayed to and fro, as they sat on the rim and cried.
"What is the matter?" asked Rikki-tikki.
"We are very miserable," said Darzee. "One of our babies fell out of the nest yesterday, and Nag ate him."
"H'm!" said Rikki-tikki, "that is very sad-but I am a stranger here. Who is Nag?"
Darzee and his wife only cowered down in the nest without answering for from the thick grass at the foot of the bush there came a low hiss-a
horrid cold sound that made Rikki-ikki jump back two clear feet. Then inch by inch out of the grass rose up the head and spread hood of Nag.
the big black cobra, and he was five feet long from tongue to tail. When he had lifted one-third of himself clear of the ground, he stayed
balancing to and fro exactly as a dandelion-tuft balances in the wind, and he looked at Rikki-tikki with the wicked snake's eyes that never
change their expression, whatever the snake may be thinking of.
