47.Read the following paragràph and answer the questions given below 4x2=8
Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea andthe stories of them helping
drowning sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn about Dolphins,
ww

the more we realize that their society is more complex than people previousy imagined.
They look after the other dolphins when they are ill, care for pregnant mothers and protect
the weakest in the community, as we do. Some scientists have suggested that dolphins
have language but it is much more probable that they communicate with each other without
heading words. Could any of these animals be more intelligent than man? Certainly the most
common argument in favour of man's superiority over them that we can kill them more easil
than they can kill us is the least satisfactory. On the contrary, the more we discover about
these remarkable creatures the less we appear superior when we destroy them.
Questions:
a. What are the friendliest creatures in the sea?
b.What do the dolphins do to other dolphins?
c. What do the scientists suggest?
d. Do the Dolphins kill human beings?
