Read the following paragraph, then choose the correct answers :
Criticising my brother’s driving is like a red rag to a bull. He’ll lose his temper and you’ll end up walking instead of getting a lift! The idiom ‘like a red rag to a bull’ is a useful way of describing something that is guaranteed to make another person angry, but where does it come from? Well, it’s common knowledge that the colour of blood makes bulls angry – that’s why a matador’s cape is red, right? Wrong: bulls are actually colour-blind and it is the movement of the cape, and not its colour, that makes them charge at you. This is one of many common myths about the walking, flying, swimming and crawling creatures with whom we share our beautiful planet.

- the blood
- the matador’s sowrd
Read the following paragraph, then choose the correct answer:
Finally, let’s head back to dry land where the insects and invertebrates live. Firstly, despite the rumours, earthworms do not actually become two separate slimy worms if you split them in half. Only a limited number of earthworm species can survive such serious injury – only the front half of the worm (where the mouth is located) is able to feed and so survive. Moving from zero to eight legs, you’ll no doubt be relieved and thankful that it’s not true that over a lifetime people swallow a large number of spiders during their sleep. While sleeping, we make all kinds of noises and movements that warn spiders of danger and prevent them from becoming unwanted furry snacks.
