TASK B: READ THE TEXT BELOW AND ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS CORRECTLY.

One day, a little rabbit was walking in the jungle. Suddenly, a large
eagle swooped down and caught the poor rabbit with its sharp claws. “Help!
Help!” begged the rabbit as it flew high in the sky with the eagle. “If you let
me go, I promise to help you if you ever need my help,” continued the rabbit.

The eagle was hungry but it was a kind animal. It felt sorry for the rabbit.
It thought to itself, “I am a beautiful and majestic bird. However, if I cannot
be kind, then I am not beautiful anymore.” The eagle then dropped the
rabbit on a tree branch. The rabbit quickly scampered down the tree. “Thank
you! Thank you!” said the grateful rabbit to the eagle.

Several weeks later, the rabbit was walking in the jungle again. Then, it
heard a pitiful cry for help. The rabbi saw a huge bird lying on the ground with
an arrow in its wing. The rabbit ran towards the eagle and realised that it was
the same eagle that had been kind to it. The rabbit bit into the arrow with its
sharp teeth. The arrow broke and the eagle could fly again. The eagle was
glad that it had not eaten the rabbit the other day. From that day onwards,
the eagle and the rabbit became good friends.
