Question

Match List I with List II :

List - I		List – II
A.	Lemur	i.	Flying phalanger
B.	Bobcat	ii.	Numbat
C.	Anteater	iii.	Spotted cuscus
D.	Flying squirrels	iv.	Tasmanian tiger cat

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
• B. A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
• C. А-IV, В-ІІІ, C-II, D-I
• D. A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

 To solve this question, we need to match animals in List-I with their corresponding pair in List-II. Let's analyze each animal:

1. Lemur: Lemurs are primates found exclusively in Madagascar. They do not fly or glide, ruling out the flying phalanger or flying squirrel options. They are often related to species like the cuscus, which leads to the match: Lemur - Spotted cuscus (iii).
2. Bobcat: A bobcat is a medium-sized North American feline belonging to the Lynx genus. The Tasmanian tiger cat seems to be a logical match due to similar naming: Bobcat - Tasmanian tiger cat (iv).
3. Anteater: Anteaters feed on ants and termites, using their long snouts and tongues. The potent characteristic of eating ants aligns them with numbat, another termite-eating animal: Anteater - Numbat (ii).
4. Flying squirrels: These rodents use skin flaps called patagia to glide through the air. They are comparable to other gliding marsupials like flying phalangers: Flying squirrels - Flying phalanger (i).

Thus, the correct sequence is:

A.	Lemur	-	iii. Spotted cuscus
B.	Bobcat	-	iv. Tasmanian tiger cat
C.	Anteater	-	ii. Numbat
D.	Flying squirrels	-	i. Flying phalanger

The correct answer, therefore, is: A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.
