Berikut ini adalah pertanyaan dari zenisapeaje pada mata pelajaran B. inggris untuk jenjang Sekolah Menengah Atas
animals that are always getting themselves stuck in trees. Cats have often
been known to become frightened of something, to run up a tree, and then to
cry sadly until they are rescued.
There is, in reality, a reasonable explanation for this type of behavior,
and it has to do with the shape of the cat’s claws. A cat’s claws are hooked in a
direction that makes climbing up a tree a rather easy task. However, when it
comes to climbing back down the tree, these claws are not very helpful.
Thus, if you happen to see a meowing cat stuck in a tree, have some
sympathy for the cat. The cat managed to get up in the tree quite easily, but the
shape of its claws make it quite impossible for the cat to climb down with the
same ease.

When babies are born, they always have blue eyes. This is because the
melanin, the pigment that colors the eyes, is not on the surface of the iris.
Instead, it is within the creases of the iris. Because there is little melanin on the
surface of the iris, the eyes appear blue.
After a few months, the melanin moves to surface of the iris. It is the
amount of melanin on the surface that determines a person’s permanent eye
color, so it is at this point that a baby’s eyes develop the color they will have
for a lifetime.
