Directions : Rearrange the following six statements (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) in the proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph; then answer the questions given below them.

A. Many animals possess protective markings to avoid predation, including patterns to reduce the risk of detection, to indicate that the animal is toxic or inedible, or mimic animal or object.

B. Many eyespots are effective in startling or intimidating predators, and can help to prevent or stop an attack.

C. In addition, many creatures such as butterflies, moths, and fish possess two or more pairs of circular markings, often referred to as ‘eyespots’.

D. However recent work by zoologists indicates that this widely held hypothesis has no exceptional support.

E. For the past 150 years it has been assumed that this is because they mimic the eyes of the predator’s own enemies.

F. Circular markings on creatures such as butterflies are effective against predators because they are conspicuous features, not because they mimic the eyes of the predators' own enemies, according to new research.
