Reading Comprehension Questions. Sharks

Hello bloggers,

Today I am going to be telling you my reading comp questions for this week. I will be doing it first because we didn’t have our create tasks for this week. The book that we are reading about is called “Sharks”. Definition of Shark, is a large, long marine fish with a cartilaginous skeleton, a prominent dorsal fin, and scales shaped like tooth’s. Most sharks are predatory, But the largest kinds feed on plankton, and some can grow up to a very large size.

Day 1 comprehension questions

  1. The smallest shark species is the “Dwarf Lantern shark”, which has an average length of about 17.5 to 20 cm when it is fully grown.
  2. Sharks want less friction to conserve energy, swim faster, and move more quietly for hunting and long-distance migration.
  3. The word endemic means, Only found in one place. According to the journal.

Day 2 comprehension questions

  1. There are three more under the Rig shark, The Chimaera, Eagle ray and, Pygmy shark.
  2. The main differences between the 2 is that the eagle ray has a more triangular shape, long pointed fins, and swims by “flying” through the water column, while stingrays are more rounded, bottom-dwelling creatures that ripple their fins to swim and have a short, thick tail with a venomous barb.
  3. Yes I think it is very helpful for eagle rays and rig sharks to have their mouths on the underside of their heads. This anatomical feature is a crucial evolutionary adaptation for their specific feeding strategies as bottom feeders (benthic predators).

Day 3 comprehension questions

  1. originates from the ancient Greek word khimaira (Χίμαιρα), which literally means “she-goat”.
  2. I learned about sharks.
