In these areas, conservation of plants, animals and microorganisms are done along with traditional life forms, living in that area.

Q50: Read the given paragraph where few words are italicised and select the correct statement regarding them. 
"Penguin's body is white in the front and black on the back. This helps them to mimic. They have short and thick feathers to protect them from cold. They have almond-shaped glands above eyes that help to filter out excess salt." 
(a) Both white and black must be interchanged.
(b) Mimic must be changed to camouflage.
(c) Short and thick must be changed to long and thin respectively.
(d) Eyes must be replaced with ears.

Science Olympiad Model Test Paper - 3 | Science Olympiad Class 7  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • Correct statement: The word "mimic" should be replaced with "camouflage" because it better describes how penguins blend into their environment.
  • Key features: Penguins have a unique color pattern that aids in their survival by making them less visible to predators.
  • Feathers: Their short and thick feathers are essential for insulation against the cold, and the glands above their eyes help manage salt intake.
  • Understanding: The term "camouflage" is more accurate in this context than "mimic," which implies imitation rather than blending in.
