Do animals communicate with each other? - ESL worksheet by huichovilla - Free Printable

Let me work through each question step by step, referring to the reading passage.

Question 1: All animals make noises to communicate.
- The passage says "Some animals make noises" - not ALL animals
- It also mentions that honeybees use dance to communicate (not noise)
- So this statement is incorrect
- Answer: b.) incorrect

Question 2: From country to country the song of a bird can change.
- The passage states: "Just like our language, bird songs have their dialects that we can hear and recognize. The song of the same kind of bird can be different in different countries."
- This directly supports the statement
- Answer: a.) correct

Question 3: Bats don't make noise.
- The passage says: "Bats make noises that are too high for us to hear."
- So bats DO make noise, we just can't hear it
- The statement "Bats don't make noise" is false
- Answer: b.) incorrect

Question 4: Bats find food in the dark.
- The passage states: "It helps bats find their way and catch food in complete darkness."
- This confirms that bats do find food in the dark
- Answer: a.) correct

Question 5: Bats, dolphins and killer whales use sonar because they can't see well.
- The passage says these animals use sonar "to find food" and that sound waves help them locate things around them
- However, the passage does NOT say they use sonar because they can't see well
- It explains WHAT sonar does, but not WHY they need it (whether due to poor vision or other reasons)
- The passage doesn't mention anything about their eyesight
- So this statement goes beyond what's stated in the text
- Answer: b.) incorrect

Final Answer:
1. b.) incorrect
2. a.) correct
3. b.) incorrect
4. a.) correct
5. b.) incorrect
