Read the passage and answer the question. Nepal's official calendar, the Bikram Sambat (BS), runs about 56 years and 8 months ahead of the Gregorian calendar used in most of the world. Its new year usually falls in mid-April, so the year 2081 BS began in April 2024. The months are based on the movement of the sun, which is why their length varies between 29 and 32 days. Government offices, newspapers and schools in Nepal use Bikram Sambat dates, although the Gregorian calendar is widely used in international business. Why do the months of the Bikram Sambat calendar vary in length?

Read the passage and answer the question. In the early nineteenth century, the passenger pigeon may have been the most numerous bird in North America; a single flock could contain hundreds of millions of birds and take hours to pass overhead. Yet by 1914 the species was extinct. The last known passenger pigeon, a female named Martha, died that year at Cincinnati Zoo. Large-scale commercial hunting, together with the clearing of the forests where the birds nested, destroyed the population within a few decades. Why does the writer describe the enormous size of the flocks?

Read the passage and answer the question. In 1935, around one hundred cane toads were brought from Hawaii to Queensland, Australia, in the hope that they would eat beetles that were damaging the sugar cane crops. The plan failed: the beetles lived high up on the cane stalks, where the ground-dwelling toads could not reach them. Worse, the toads had few natural enemies in Australia and bred rapidly. Today there are millions of them across much of northern Australia. Because the toads are poisonous, native animals that try to eat them, such as some snakes and lizards, often die. Which lesson is best illustrated by the passage?

Read the passage and answer the question. In 1960, the young British researcher Jane Goodall was watching wild chimpanzees in Gombe, Tanzania, when she saw a male chimpanzee strip the leaves from a twig, push it into a termite mound and pull it out covered in termites, which he then ate. At the time, many scientists defined humans as the only animals that made tools. Goodall's observation forced them to rethink that definition. Her mentor, Louis Leakey, famously remarked that scientists would now have to redefine 'tool', redefine 'man', or accept chimpanzees as humans. What does Leakey's remark suggest?

Read the passage and answer the question. The Paralympic movement began in 1948 at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in England. Dr Ludwig Guttmann, who treated soldiers with spinal injuries from the Second World War, organised an archery competition for wheelchair users on the same day as the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games. He believed that sport could help his patients recover physically and regain their self-confidence. The event grew year by year, and in 1960 the first Paralympic Games were held in Rome. What was special about the date of the first competition?
