In the arid plains of Gujarat, a small tortoise named Kiran lives. He hides under the shade of a banyan tree during the day and emerges at night to eat dry leaves. When it rains, he stays in his burrow to avoid getting drenched. Write a paragraph of 3‑4 sentences explaining how Kiran survives in the desert. Use at least two words from the passage.
Answer
Kiran survives by staying cool under the shade of a banyan tree during the hot day, and he emerges at night to feed on dry leaves. When rain comes, he retreats into his burrow to keep dry. By using the banyan for shade and the burrow for protection from rain, he manages the extreme temperatures and weather of the desert.
Step-by-step solution

- Identify key words to use: ‘banyan’, ‘burrow’, ‘arid’.
- Plan a paragraph that links these tactics to survival in the desert.
- Write 3‑4 sentences, ensuring at least two words from the passage are included.
