D One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest, the next, the air was charged with tension. Theelephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her zxxkmood suddenly changed. I urged theelephant deeper into the forest. We sounded like a forest fire-crackling, snapping, trailblazing. Butthrough all the noise came a sharp wanting cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it again—thetell-tale call of a spotted deer. I looked quickly mound the shadows of the forest. Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches,beneath which the patchwork of green plants and shadow-within-shadows would make tigerstripes look more attractive. Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant's stomach, theforest wins silent. Gradually, the tension slipped from our bodies. The elephant seized a nearby branch and put itinto her mouth. I roached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant's neck; there was asoft part, free of wrinkles and hairs, behind her ear. This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett, although I saw no tigers in theend. Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains, Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers, butthe forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts, a silent reminder of their secrecy andrarity. Still, I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear. If I had so desperately wantedto see a tiger, I could have gone to a zoo. After all, spotting tigers mealy confirms their beauty;backing them can make you aware of something more. 48. Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm? A. The elephant stopped. B.
