IV Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.

Watching for wildlife in the forests, we rarely see past the surface of things Standing on the ground floor, we scan the leafy rafters, entirely overlooking the living world in the soil beneath our feet The forest's basement is a secret world As different from our own world as water is from air, the soil seems quiet, even dead But life bustles down below: a cubic inch of top soil may contain billions of creatures Predators and prey roam beneath as well as above the forest floor Furthermore, those upstairs and downstairs forest denizens live closed linked lives Soil-dwelling bacteria and fungi break down dead organic matter into molecules that above ground plants use for food Those plants as well as animals, mature and die, leaving more organic matter to fuel the folks downstairs

Like a well-insulated house, the soil protects its tenants from extreme temperatures, and from rain and snow It also provides a bulwark against predators that roam the surface world But the dense, protecting soil also limits mobility Soil creatures must be specially equipped in order to travel easily through their dark, constricting realm Earthworms and ants are the champion earth-movers, creating channels that allow air and water to enter the soil While ants travel relatively far from their nests, earthworms work small areas, reprocessing vast amounts of soil into fertile "waste" In a single year, as much as 36 tons of soil may pass through the alimentary tracts of all the earthworms living in an acre of soil
