SECTION: A (READING)​ ​ ​ ​ (14)
Q.1​ Read the passage given below​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (7)

The Cheetah – The Fastest Animal on Land

The cheetah is one of the most fascinating animals in the world. Known for being the fastest
land animal, it can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h, but only for short distances. Its slender
body, long legs, and flexible spine help it achieve this incredible speed.

Cheetahs are found mostly in parts of Africa and a small population in Iran. In recent years,
India has also begun a project to reintroduce cheetahs into certain wildlife reserves. Their
golden coat with black spots helps them blend into the tall grasses, making it easier to hunt
prey.

Unlike lions or tigers, cheetahs hunt mainly during the day, using their excellent eyesight to
spot animals like gazelles and hares. They rely on speed rather than strength, chasing down
their prey in quick bursts.

Sadly, the cheetah population has declined due to habitat loss, hunting, and lack of prey.
Wildlife organisations are working hard to protect them through conservation programs.

Cheetahs play an important role in maintaining the balance of their ecosystem by controlling
the population of herbivores. Protecting them ensures the health of grasslands and savannas.

The cheetah’s beauty, grace, and speed make it a true wonder of the animal kingdom.

It was built in 1570 by Hamida Banu Begum, the widow of Mughal Emperor Humayun. This
magnificent structure is considered the first garden-tomb in India and is a fine example of
Mughal architecture. Its design later inspired the construction of the Taj Mahal.
The tomb is made of red sandstone and white marble, with a large central dome surrounded
by beautiful gardens, fountains, and pathways. The charbagh-style garden, divided into four
