Question 1: PROSE Read the following story and answer the question that follows it. EAGLE’S QUEST A long time ago when pigs could still fly and animals could speak with authority, Eagle, the queen of the skies, was the leader of all birds and the heavens. She flew higher in the sky than everyone and ruled ably over her people. During those times, a huge crisis came to be: there was no food due to drought, and the forests were catching fire because of human beings. Eagle knew she had to do something for her people in order for them to survive. So, she called for her faithful warriors Owl and Falcon to help her. “Friends”, she said, “our land is destroyed, and our people are hungry. We need to find a new home with plenty of food.” Owl responded, “I have heard of a place far away where the rivers are full of fish and the skies are clear to soar. But it's a long and dangerous journey, my queen. We will have to fly over steep mountains, dark caves, and wide dry deserts.” Falcon responded, “I will fly ahead to scope out the path, but we need to hurry because our people are dying. The journey will be difficult and we must prepare to face many challenges.” And so, the three birds began the long journey. They flew over mountains and valleys unknown, through heavy storms and under the scorching hot sun. They met many dangers along the way, like fierce hawks and sharp rocks. But they worked together and used their skills to overcome them. One day, they came to a wide desert. There was no food or water there, and the sun was very hot. Eagle said to her companions, “We need shelter to rest. Let us work together and combine our strengths to make one.” They nodded in agreement.
