Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #40081 Short Toads

Instructions ›

You will see a video about toads. Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Transcript:

Toads feed mainly on insects such as flies and beetles or other small arthropods and worms. When hunting for food, a toad moves in as close to its prey as possible. Then flicks out its long, sticky tongue and snaps the insect into its mouth in a lightning-quick motion. This action can be observed in slow motion when the toad sees a prey, the tongue snaps out. If the prey is touched, it sticks fast and the tongue is quickly pulled back into the mouth.

How do toads catch their prey?

* Listen to the recording and select the correct answer

By using their paws to grab the insects. By camouflaging themselves and waiting for the prey to come close. By flicking out their long, sticky tongue to snap the prey into their mouth. By chasing the prey until it is caught.

Option 3: "By flicking out their long, sticky tongue to snap the prey into their mouth."

Explanation: This option is correct because the text explicitly states that toads catch their prey by flicking out their long, sticky tongue and snapping the insect into their mouth. This action is described in detail, highlighting the quick motion involved in capturing prey.

Option 1: "By using their paws to grab the insects."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text does not mention toads using their paws to catch prey. Instead, it describes the toad's method of using its tongue. The phrase 'using their paws' is not supported by any information in the text.

Option 2: "By camouflaging themselves and waiting for the prey to come close."

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text does not discuss camouflage as a method for catching prey. The focus is on the toad's active hunting technique, specifically the use of its tongue, rather than waiting for prey to approach.

Option 4: "By chasing the prey until it is caught."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text does not mention toads chasing their prey. Instead, it describes a method where the toad moves close to the prey and uses its tongue, rather than pursuing it.
