[Answer] 1. Pointer, hmm. Lexi's not going hunting, so while her mind is probably on the canine kind of pointer, she must subconsciously want to play online quizzes using the mouse's pointer! What word describes that kind of pointer on the computer screen?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "1. Pointer, hmm. Lexi's not going hunting, so while her mind is probably on the canine kind of pointer, she must subconsciously want to play online quizzes using the mouse's pointer! What word describes that kind of pointer on the computer screen?"

...1. Speller 2. Hexer 3. Cursor 4. Darner The "cursor" is that little arrow on the computer screen you probably used to point at and select an answer for this question! Or, if you're inserting text, the cursor might change into an underscore or a blinking vertical bar. A cursor is also the clear sliding pane on a slide rule. Originally a Latin word, "cursor" meant messenger or runner in that dead language. Now that my office is filled with English Pointers answering Lexi's call for aid, I have to explain to these eager canines that we're not in need of gun dogs or, as they're sometimes known due to their prowess at locating prey such as quail or pheasant, bird dogs. Why me?

[Answer] 4. Which of the following best describes the hunting habits of most owls?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "4. Which of the following best describes the hunting habits of most owls? "

...1. Lurking camouflaged on the ground and waiting for prey to pass by 2. Perching quietly in trees then flying in short, rapid surges to seize prey 3. Forming a company of several owls that fly in a circle around the prey 4. Mimicking the mating calls of small rodents and luring them to the nest Although owls use their wings to get around, they rarely take long, leisurely flights. This is not always the case, as some owls that live in grassland or tundra environments fly for longer distances because there is less tree cover in these areas. Very few owls ever fly above the heights of the surrounding trees, with the exception of the Southeast Asian hawk-owl. Thus, most owls pick out a choice perch at a hunting spot, and swoop in when any prey appears. Owls do not have the speed on land that they do in the air (a notable exception is the burrowing owl), and therefore they almost always approach their prey from above. Finally, owls are solitary hunters; their hunting and survival strategies depend on silence and speed (neither of which may be well-coordinated in a group).
