Section F: Comprehension MCQ (5 marks)
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
Autumn is the season that falls between summer and winter. There are many
changes that begin in this fascinating season. Days become shorter. Leaves of trees turn
from green to vibrant red, yellow and orange. Trees need sunlight to keep their leaves a
lively green. Without sunlight leaves turn colours. The grass is no longer blanketed with
dew but with frost almost every morning, as temperatures reach the freezing point.
Animals start storing up a food supply to last the long winter months. The farmers also
harvest their crops during the autumn. These changes occur as we adjust from the heat of
the summer to the chill of the winter. In Ireland, autumn comes in September, while in
Australia it begins in March and ends in May.

(1) After winter
(2) Before Summer
