Read the passage below carefully before attempting the questions.
Aarav loved visiting his grandfather’s farm every summer. He would wake up early to help feed the animals. The farm had three brown cows, twelve white hens and a spotted dog named Kalu. Aarav’s favourite job was collecting eggs from the hen house.
One morning, he found an extra large egg. “Grandfather!” he shouted, “I found the biggest egg ever!” His grandfather smiled and said, “That must be from Rani — she is the oldest hen.” Aarav placed the egg carefully in his basket and ran back to the farmhouse for breakfast.
