Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.

The night was cold and dark. There was a great storm, thunder and lighting. Most men and animals, adequately protected, were happily asleep in their homes. But, some worried monkeys were searching the forest for a warm home. They looked everywhere for shelter.
Suddenly they saw some fireflies, which have a light in their tails. The monkeys took it to be a fire. They said, “We will go near it and warm ourselves.” There was a flock of birds in a tree nearby. One bird had a kind heart and it felt sorry for the monkeys. It called out to the monkeys and said, “That is not a fire, my friends. Those are fireflies. They give no heat. It is futile to run after them.” The monkeys got furious. One monkey said rudely, “Is it so? We don’t want unsolicited advice. We will teach you a lesson for saying there is no fire.” They jumped up the tree and pulled the nest. “Alas!” said the bird, “why did I try to help a fool?”

Q3. Which species of woodpeckers have become extinct? A woodpecker is a bird . There are over 200 different kind of woodpeckers. Woodpeckers have their domain all over the world except in the north and south poles, Australia and New Zealand. Two types of woodpeckers , the Imperial Woodpecker and the Ivory-billed Woodpecker are most probably extinct. Animals that are extinct are no longer found on the earth. Woodpeckers have short stiff tails which help prop them up against the tree trunks and branches, so that they can do the drilling into the wood with their sharp bills. Woodpeckers also have very long tongues which help them catch the insects from deep within the trees. Woodpeckers are known for drumming the tree trunks very loudly and can become pests if they drum on the sidings of the house. Sunflower seeds and suet especially in the backyard bird feeders really attract the woodpeckers. Suet is a kind of animal fat which the woodpeckers find very tasty.

Where did Abraham live during his early years of childhood?

Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, in Hardin County, Kentucky, to Thomas and Nancy Lincoln in their one room log cabin on their farm known as Sinking Spring (near modern-day Hodgenville, Kentucky). Although Thomas lacked formal education, he was an excellent farmer and carpenter, and often times served a member of the jury. Thomas and Nancy joined a small Baptist church in the area that had broken away from the larger church over the issue of slavery.

When Abe was two, the family moved to nearby Knob Creek Farm, where Abe\'s first memories of his childhood were formed. Because of difficulties his father had with the title to the farm, Thomas Lincoln moved his family to Pigeon Creek, Indiana in 1816 where the seven year-old Abraham helped him build a log cabin in the woods. Two years later, Nancy died of “milk sickness.” Milk sickness is a rare disease caused by drinking the milk or consuming the meat of a cow that had fed on poisonous roots. In 1819, however, Thomas married Sarah Bush Johnston, whom Abraham would call “mother.” Sarah was a kind and warm women who brought her three children, Matilda, Elizabeth, and John to the Lincoln homestead to live with Abraham and his sister.

In 1819, however, Thomas married Sarah Bush Johnston, whom Abraham would call “mother.” Sarah was a kind and warm women who brought her three children, Matilda, Elizabeth, and John to the Lincoln homestead to live with Abraham and his sister.

From an early age, Sarah recognized Abraham’s quick wit and intellect and encouraged him to read. Abraham became an avid reader, gobbling up any book he could get his hands on from neighbors, clergymen, and traveling teachers. Abraham attended school on an inconsistent basis. At times, traveling teachers may have taught at a nearby rudimentary schoolhouse, and at other times Abraham walked several miles to the nearest school. Lincoln himself admitted that the total amount of schooling he received in his childhood was no more than twelve months; nevertheless, he became an excellent reader, learned to write, measure, and make division and multiplication calculations. Abraham took his studies very seriously. Without paper in the house to practice his writing and math, he often did arithmetic on the back of a wooden spoon using charcoal as a makeshift pencil. Lincoln described where he grew up.

Which of the following is true about Abraham Lincoln?

Abrham Lincoln’s growing desire to attend school conflicted with his father’s demands on him, which often made him appear lazy to his neighbors. His father often rented him out to perform manual labor tasks such as shucking corn, hoeing, gathering, and plowing. During the early 1800’s, Abe’s father was entitled to all of the money earned as a result of his son’s labor. Abe\'s considerable strength was evident with his unusual skill and power with an axe. Abe was said to be able to chop more wood and split more rails than anyone around. Far larger and stronger than the other boys in the region, Abe could outrun and outwrestle all of them. Unlike most boys of his time, however, Abe avoided hunting because he took no pleasure in killing animals.

Although Abe gained a reputation as a prankster, and for his storytelling abilities, he also gained a reputation for honesty. When he was nineteen years old, he was hired to co-steer a flatboat down the Mississippi River to unload produce to be sold at the plantations in the South and to return with the money earned. For these services, Abe was paid eight dollars a month. More importantly, these forays into the South opened Abe’s eyes to the world beyond the Indiana frontier and likely begun to shape his views toward the horrors of slavery as he witnessed the auctions and treatment of slaves firsthand.

Why did the Lincolns had to join a new church?
