- 1. (a) Carolyn Wells — It is by Carolyn Wells.
- 2. (b) humorous — It is a humorous, nonsense poem.
- 3. (c) attacked or harmed — Each tip involves being attacked or eaten.
- 4. (d) penguin — Penguins are not among the dangerous animals described.
- 5. A humorous, absurd 'guide' to identifying dangerous wild animals.
- 6. Because they require being attacked or eaten, far too late to be useful.
- 7. Carolyn Wells creates humour by taking a serious-sounding idea — how to identify dangerous wild animals — and treating it in a completely absurd way. The poem pretends to give a traveller helpful tips for recognising creatures such as the Asian lion, the Bengal tiger, the leopard and the bear. But the joke is that every method of identification involves the animal attacking, biting, hugging or eating the person, by which time the knowledge would be quite useless. This mock-serious, instructional tone clashes comically with the ridiculous content. Wells adds to the fun with a bouncy rhyme and rhythm, playful wordplay and exaggeration. The result is a light-hearted nonsense poem whose only purpose is to make the reader laugh.
