A typical fish is wider in the middle than at the ends. But a flounder is as flat as a dinner plate. A sea horse looks something like a horse standing on its tail. Eels look like snakes.

Read the passage and then answer questions 13 to 15.
Taking care of the environment is very important so as to maintain high standards of hygiene or cleanliness. All the litter around should be picked and thrown in pits. Those that can completely burn should be burnt. Those that can rot should be used to prepare compost manure. Banana peels, leaves and kitchen refuse can easily rot. Some wastes like plastic, glass and metals can be recycled and made into new items. Some that can neither rot, burn out nor be recycled to be buried in deep pits to minimise the chances of accidents. When empty tins are left lying anyhow in the compound, they become mosquito breeding areas when it rains because they collect and keep rain water. These tins should either be buried, recycled or reused.
