Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each question.
Tigers are one of the most powerful and graceful animals in the world. The different
species that still exist today, namely the Bengal, Indochina, Siberian, South China and
Sumatra tigers are in danger of becoming extinct. Due to irresponsible hunting, the Bali,
Caspian and Java tigers have already become extinct. This could soon happen to the other
species too.

taken up more of the land to build upon, the tigers found less area for themselves to hunt.

People were then encouraged to hunt and kill these animals with the promise of rewards.
Even after the threat of tigers on livestock was over, man continued to hunt tigers, this time
for recreation. Poachers too hunt tigers for their body parts knowing that the skin of tigers is
much sought after. Bones and other organs are also used as ingredients in traditional
