Explanation:
Let’s go through each question one by one, using the passage.

Question 1:
*The underlined word “they” refers to ______.*
Look at the sentence:
> “If they are ill, they are given medicine.”
Before that:
> “...the animals have good food every day. If they are ill, they are given medicine.”
So “they” refers to *the animals* — because it's the animals who get sick and get medicine.
✔ Correct answer: b – animals

Question 2:
*The underlined word “annoy” means ______.*
In the passage:
> “They throw things at them and annoy them.”
This describes bad behavior toward animals — making them upset or angry.
“Annoy” means to make someone angry or irritated.
✔ Correct answer: a – make angry

Question 3:
*The main idea of the second paragraph is ______.*
Second paragraph talks about:
- Large animals (tigers, lions, etc.) being unhappy in cages.
- Children enjoying zoo visits, watching animals, preferring huge animals.
- Some children being unkind and throwing things.
So the paragraph is mostly about *a visit to the zoo*, including both positive and negative parts.
Option a says “a visit to the zoo” — that’s the broadest and most accurate summary.
✔ Correct answer: a – a visit to the zoo

Question 4:
*Animals in a zoo are given medicine when ______.*
From the first paragraph:
> “If they are ill, they are given medicine.”
So it’s when they are ill.

Passage says:
