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.
