Let's solve the problem step by step based on the story provided in the image.

Story Summary:

The passage describes Mr. Looney’s zoo, which is filled with farm animals. It explains the sounds each animal makes:
- Dogs bark
- Cats purr
- Donkeys bray
- Ducks and geese quack
- Sheep, goats, and calves bleat
- Cows moo
- Roosters crow

It also mentions that the animals stop making noise when Mr. Looney gives them food and lets them drink from a brook. He loves the animals, and they love him back.

Question 1: Which animals moo?

Options:
A. dogs
B. cows
C. cats

Step-by-step reasoning:
- Look at the sentence: *"The cows moo and the roosters in the coop crow."*
- This clearly states that cows are the ones that moo.
- Dogs bark, cats purr — so options A and C are incorrect.

✔ Correct answer: B. cows

Question 2: Which animals hoot?

Options:
A. owls
B. cows
C. goats

Step-by-step reasoning:
- The story does not mention owls or hooting at all.
- Cows moo (not hoot), goats bleat (not hoot).
- Although owls are known to hoot in real life, the story does not list owls as being in Mr. Looney’s zoo.
- Since the question asks us to base our answer on the story, and no animal in the story is said to hoot, we must conclude that none of the listed animals hoot according to the text.

But wait — let’s check the options again:
- A. owls → not mentioned in the story
- B. cows → moo, not hoot
- C. goats → bleat, not hoot

So none of the animals listed in the story hoot.

However, this might be a trick question — perhaps it's testing whether students can recognize that "hoot" is not mentioned in the story.

But since owls are not mentioned at all, and the story only lists farm animals, we have to go strictly by what's written.

👉 Therefore, none of the given choices are correct based on the story, but if we must pick one from the options, and assuming the question is asking for a general knowledge fact outside the story, then owls hoot.

But the directions say: *"Read the story. Answer the questions that follow."* So we must base answers only on the story.

Since no animal in the story hoots, and owls aren't mentioned, this question may be flawed — but let's reconsider.

Wait — is there a possibility of a typo or misreading?

Let’s double-check: Does the story say anything about hooting?

No. The sounds mentioned are:
- Bark (dogs)
- Purr (cats)
- Bray (donkeys)
- Quack (ducks, geese)
- Bleat (sheep, goats, calves)
- Moo (cows)
- Crow (roosters)

None of these are "hoot."

So no animal in the story hoots.

Therefore, the correct answer should not be among the choices — but since we have to choose, and owls are the only animals that hoot, even though they're not in the story...

This suggests a possible error in the question.

But if we assume the question is testing general knowledge (which is common in such worksheets), then:

✔ Answer: A. owls — because owls are the animals that hoot.

But strictly based on the story, none of the animals hoot, so the answer is not listed.

However, since the worksheet likely expects an answer, and owls are the only logical choice (even if not in the story), we go with A.

But wait — look at the image again. The illustration shows a monkey, sheep, pigs, chickens, dogs, etc. No owl.

So the story doesn’t include owls.

Thus, based on the story, none of the animals hoot.

But the question asks: "Which animals hoot?" — implying one of the options is correct.

Given that, and since none of the animals in the story hoot, but in reality, owls hoot, and the other two options are wrong, the best possible answer is:

✔ A. owls

Even though they’re not in the story, it's likely the question assumes general knowledge.

✔ Final Answers:

1. B. cows
2. A. owls

---

✔ Explanation:

- Question 1: The story says, “The cows moo,” so the answer is B. cows.
- Question 2: Although owls are not mentioned in the story, they are the only animals among the choices that hoot. Cows moo, goats bleat — neither hoots. So A. owls is the correct answer based on general knowledge, even if not directly stated in the story.

> Note: This question may be intended to test real-world knowledge, even if not explicitly stated in the text.

Final Answer:
1. B
2. A
