Question :He is lurking in shadows because_________
The correct answer is – The given extract does not provide a specific answer to why “He is lurking in shadows,” as the sentence is hypothetical and describes what the tiger would do in his natural habitat.
The phrase “He should be lurking in shadow” suggests that the tiger is a wild animal and would normally be found lurking in the shadows and sliding through long grass near the water hole, waiting for prey to pass by.
However, the tiger is currently in a cage, indicating that he is not able to exercise his natural instincts and is instead confined to a small space. Thus, the phrase implies that the tiger is not able to do what he would naturally do in the wild, and is instead forced to remain in his cage.
Therefore, there is no specific answer to why the tiger is lurking in shadows in the given extract.
