Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.

To see a tiger in the wild these days is becoming nearly impossible. They are becoming
extinct. Once, tigers roamed freely in thousands different parts of Asia; today they number only
a few hundred.
One of the major reasons why the tiger is losing the battle to stay alive is because of the
belief that the tiger is a valuable medicinal source. People in Asia, especially, believe that every
single part of the tiger holds medicinal properties. For example, they believe that the eye of the
tiger can improve our vision and their blood can make us strong. Based on this reason, the tiger
is hunted. Illegal hunters can fetch great sums of money for a single tiger and they are not
afraid to risk their lives in search of tigers in the wild. Although tigers are strong and fierce, they
cannot challenge the might of weapons used by the hunters which are too powerful and fast. Park
rangers are unable to do much against the hunters. Moreover, there are too few rangers to patrol
the large areas of land.
It would indeed be sad if one day, the only tiger we will ever see is the stuffed one in the
museum. If we continue buying tiger products and keeping quiet about this issue, maybe it will
come to that one day.

Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow.

There was a tale told long ago,

Of a pretty maiden called Mahsuri,
If to that island you should go,
Remember the name is Pulau Langkawi.

Under the blazing tropical sun,

Lies a stretch of fine black sand,
Its a place to relax and have fun,
Or wonder of the colour of the strand.

Tourists come from far and near,

Paying little attention to the heat,
Many are eager to know and hear,
About the black sand under their feet.

The strand was once a field of rice,

Turned into cinders by Mahsuris curse on Langkawi,
The people of Langkawi paid a heavy price,
For the injustice that was done to Mahsuri.
