    ​'A camel is called the ship of the desert' is drawn from the assumption: ​
    Question

    'A camel is called the ship of the desert' is drawn from the assumption:

    A.

    The shape of a camel is like a ship.

    B.

    Camels are used for transportation in deserts.

    C.

    Camels have humps.

    D.

    Camels are mammals.

    Correct option is B

    Sol: The correct answer is (b) Camels are used for transportation in deserts.

    Key Points:

    • The phrase "A camel is called the ship of the desert" is derived from the fact that camels are often used as a primary mode of transportation in desert regions. Just as ships are used to travel across the sea, camels are used to travel across the desert, 
    • camels can travel at a speed of 4 km per hour across the harsh desert, which makes them a reliable means of transport in such challenging environments.
    • Camels' incredible ability to survive without water for up to 15 days is crucial in the water-scarce deserts, allowing them to endure extreme conditions. Their hump(s) store fat, which the camel uses for energy when water is unavailable.
