Part 2. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions (1.0 
point) 
 Ostriches are the largest and heaviest birds on earth. They can grow to be as tall as 9 feet and can weigh as 
much as 250 pounds. Even though they have wings, they cannot fly. Instead, ostriches have long, powerful legs 
that help them to run very fast when they feel threatened. Ostriches use their wings to move themselves 
forward and to help them change direction.
 Ostriches are native to Africa, where they still live in desert areas and dry, open grasslands called 
savannahs. Ostriches can also be found in zoos all over the world. Humans have domesticated ostriches, so now 
ostriches live on farms in over a dozen countries, including the United States, China, India, Japan, Brazil and 
Costa Rica. They are raised for their meat, skin, and feathers.
 Ostriches like to live in small groups called herds. The male ostrich is called a rooster; the female, a hen. 
Baby ostriches are called chicks. The female ostrich lays the eggs, but both the male and the female take turns 
sitting on the eggs to keep them warm.
