Grammar
Complete the passage with the to-infinitive, verb-ed or verb-ing form of the verbs below.
■ approach ■ catch ■ kill (x2) ■ hide
For many animals, one of the most important skills is hiding. There are several reasons for this, but for many animals, the goal is simply to avoid being caught by a meat-eater. Rabbits are a typical example of this: their first response is to quickly find a place ¹__________ at the first sign of danger.
The goal of meat-eaters like tigers, meanwhile, is to find a small animal ²__________, and then attack it before they’re seen. For this reason, they’re very skilled at hiding and waiting.

Complete the passage with the to-infinitive, verb-ed or verb-ing form of the verbs below.
■ approach ■ catch ■ kill (x2) ■ hide
We can safely observe this type of behaviour by looking at a more modest¹ meat-eater: the ordinary house cat. Strange as it may seem, most of the birds ³__________ by house cats aren’t eaten. Cats usually get plenty of food from us humans, but they are constantly looking for small animals ⁴__________, even though they aren’t hungry. Cats often hide themselves, waiting for a bird to appear. Once the bird is near enough, the cat will walk up quietly to it. And what does the little bird do when it hears the ⁵_________________ cat? Fly away, of course!
killed
to catch
approaching
