Question

Which is common between ostrich, penguin and kiwi?

• A. Running birds
• B. Migratory birds
• C. Flightless birds
• D. Four toed birds.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To determine the common characteristic among ostrich, penguin, and kiwi, we should evaluate each option in relation to these birds:

1. Running birds: While ostriches are known for their running speeds, penguins waddle and swim, and kiwis do not run. Thus, this option does not apply to all three species.
2. Migratory birds: None of these birds are known to migrate. Therefore, they do not share this trait.
3. Flightless birds: Ostriches, penguins, and kiwis are all flightless, meaning they have evolved to live without the ability to fly. This characteristic is indeed common across all three species.
4. Four-toed birds: Although the toe count varies among birds, not all of these three birds have exactly four toes. Hence, this is not a shared characteristic.

After analyzing all the options, the common characteristic among ostrich, penguin, and kiwi is that they are all flightless birds.
