It rolls over on its back, wiggling around as if it's in distress. Then it "dies" with its mouth open and tongue hanging out. If you turn it on its stomach, the snake will roll over on its back again.

This passage is mainly about...

where the hognose snake is found.
what things frighten the hognose snake.
how dangerous the hognose snake is.
how the hognose snake bluffs.

Read the following passage and choose the best summary.

What’s that humming sound? Could it be hummingbird, the only bird capable of backward flight? Hummingbirds have many unique flight habits that distinguish them from other birds. Most birds flap their wings up and down to fly, but the hummingbird moves its wings forward and backward very rapidly in a figure eight pattern. This allows the hummingbird to hover in position, fly upside down, and move about very rapidly. And while other birds have to push off with their feet to begin flying, and work their ways up to their top speeds, the hummingbird can both start flying at maximum speed and stop flying instantaneously. After you’ve seen a hummingbird in flight, it’s unlikely that you’ll mistake them for another bird.

Hummingbirds fly in neat and interesting ways.
Hummingbird's flight is unlike other birds because it is much faster.
The hummingbird is unique because it is able to hover in position, fly upside down, and move about rapidly. Other birds have to push off and work their ways up to top speeds.But the hummingbird can both start flying at maximun speeds and stop flying instantaneously.
