The question asks to identify the first man-eater Jim Corbett successfully hunted. This requires knowledge of Jim Corbett's famous hunts and their chronological order.
Correct Option: C) The Champawat Tiger was the first man-eater successfully hunted by Jim Corbett in 1907. It is one of his most famous hunts due to the high number of human casualties attributed to the tigress.
The question asks for the number of deaths attributed to the Champawat Tiger. This is a factual recall question related to famous man-eating animals in history. The answer requires knowledge of the specific historical record associated with this particular tiger.
Correct Option: D) Nearly 436
The question asks about the initial location where the infamous Champawat Tigress began her attacks. This requires knowledge of historical accounts related to this specific man-eating tiger.
Correct Option: B) Nepal, Rupal village. The Champawat Tigress started her attacks in the Rupal village area of Nepal before moving to India.
The question asks about the Nepalese army's action regarding a tigress. This is a factual recall question, likely from a specific historical event or narrative. To answer correctly, one must know the outcome of the interaction between the Nepalese army and the tigress.
B) Drove it into India. The Nepalese army's efforts led to the tigress being driven out of Nepal and into the Kumaon region of India, where it continued its man-eating activities before being eventually killed by Jim Corbett.
The question asks about the time of day when most of the tigress's kills occurred. To answer this, we need to refer to the provided information (which is implicitly a graph or data table, though not explicitly shown in the prompt). We will look for the period with the highest frequency of kills.
Based on typical data presented for such questions (e.g., a bar graph showing kills vs. time of day), it is often observed that big cats like tigers, while active at night, also hunt significantly during daylight hours, especially if the prey is more active then or if they are habituated to human presence in certain areas. If the data shows a peak during 'daylight', that would be the correct answer.
Assuming the underlying data indicates that the majority of kills happened during daylight hours, we proceed to confirm option C.
C) During daylight — If the data (not provided but implied) shows that the highest number of kills by the tigress occurred during daylight hours, then this is the correct option. Tigers are opportunistic hunters and can hunt at any time, but specific circumstances or prey availability might lead to a higher frequency of kills during the day in certain scenarios.
The question asks for the reason why villagers stopped entering the forest. This implies a specific event or condition that made the forest unsafe or inaccessible for them. We need to evaluate each option to determine which one presents a plausible and direct cause for villagers avoiding the forest.
C) Fear of the tigress — The presence of a dangerous predator like a tigress would instill significant fear in villagers, making them avoid entering the forest to protect themselves and their livestock. This is a direct and compelling reason for people to stop their regular activities in a forest area.
