  1. (1) (A) and (B) both are wrongCorrect answer
  2. (2) (A) is correct but (B) is wrong
  3. (3) (A) is wrong but (B) is correct
  4. (4) (A) and (B) both are correct

Solution.

CBSE answer: (1)

Answer: (1) (A) and (B) both are wrong

  1. The Class 5 lesson Super Senses says a sloth sleeps almost 17 hours a day, hanging upside down.
  2. It says a sloth lives about 40 years and moves around only eight trees in that time.
  3. So 20 hours is wrong, and 20 years with 5 trees is also wrong.

Trap: (4) the statements sound like the textbook, but every number in them has been changed.
