II. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.
We live in a world full of colors, sensations, tastes, sounds and smells.

The human body has five senses that make our life a lot more interesting. They are hearing, touch, taste, smell
and sight. Our body uses organs to do some of the work. These organs are our ears, skin, tongue, nose and eyes. When
we use these organs, they talk to our brain. They may warn us by telling us something is too hot when touched. When
we touch things, small hairs and sensors in our skin figure out what we feel. The sense of hearing uses tiny little hairs
and bones in our ears to figure out sounds. We have around 10,000 taste buds on our tongue to help us taste food. The
sense of smell uses hundreds of sensory cells in our nose. Our sense of sight uses over two million different tiny parts
in our eyes to see! Most people use more than one sense to figure things out.
