Explanation:
We need to match each bird’s beak shape to the food it eats, using the letters A–D.
Let’s look at each bird and what its beak tells us:
1.
Top bird (black-and-white head, short thick beak)
- The beak is short, strong, and slightly hooked — good for cracking hard shells.
- This matches
C (sunflower seeds) — birds like finches or sparrows have such beaks to crush seeds.
2.
Second bird (long, thin, pointed beak)
- Very slender and sharp — perfect for probing into narrow places or catching small, fast prey.
- This matches
A (ant) — birds like wrens or warblers use thin beaks to pick insects (including ants) off bark or ground.
3.
Third bird (large, hooked, powerful beak)
- This is an eagle or hawk-type beak — sharp, curved, and strong for tearing flesh.
- None of the foods listed are meat, but wait — let’s double-check options:
A = ant (insect), B = fish, C = seeds, D = nectar/flowers.
- Eagles eat fish too — many raptors (like ospreys) have hooked beaks *and* eat fish. But ospreys have more specialized talons; however, eagles also eat fish.
- More precisely: a large hooked beak + strong build → likely a fish-eater like an osprey or bald eagle. So this matches
B (fish).
4.
Fourth bird (slender, slightly down-curved beak, with red patch)
- Looks like a hummingbird or sunbird — long, thin, often curved to reach into flowers.
- Matches
D (red tubular flowers) — nectar-feeding birds have beaks shaped to fit into flowers.
Now verify all pairings:
- Short thick beak → seeds →
C
- Long thin beak → insects (ants) →
A
- Large hooked beak → fish →
B
- Slender curved beak → nectar/flowers →
D
Yes, that fits standard bird-beak adaptations.
Final Answer:
C
A
B
D
