Question

use the text to compare and contrast peacocks and peahens.
the word \peacock\ is often used to refer to both males and females of the indian peafowl species, but this is incorrect. technically, only males are peacocks, while females are peahens. peacocks have bright, iridescent blue and green feathers, as opposed to peahens, which are usually brown or gray in color. peacocks also have large trains, or tail feathers, that can grow up to five feet long. meanwhile, peahens have no trains at all. in the wild, both males and females may live alone or in small groups. during mating season, males use their multicolored tail feathers to attract females. however, it is usually the peahen who chooses a mate. peahens appear to prefer peacocks with the brightest, most symmetrical tails.

Explanation:

• "Peacocks have bright, iridescent blue and green feathers" so "Have colorful feathers" is for Peacocks.
• "Peacocks also have large trains" so "Have trains" is for Peacocks.
• "In the wild, both males and females may live alone or in small groups" so "Live in small groups or alone" is for both.
• "it is usually the peahen who chooses a mate" so "Choose which bird to mate with" is for Peahens.

Answer:

• Have colorful feathers: Peacocks
• Have trains: Peacocks
• Live in small groups or alone: Peacocks, Peahens
• Choose which bird to mate with: Peahens
