             3.  (a) An sparrow is a small bird which is found throughout the world. There are (b) any
                 different species of sparrows. Sparrows are only about four to six inches in (c) area.
                 Many people appreciate their (d) unhappy song. Sparrows prefer to build their nests
                 in low places—usually on the ground, clumps of grass, low (e) tree, and low bushes.
                 In cities, they build their nests (f) at building nooks or holes. They rarely build their
                 nests in high places. They build (g) there nests out of twigs, grasses, and plant fibres.
                 Their nests are usually small and (h) well-build structures.

                 (c) regarding of the risks involved. I have often wondered why they take such risks: is
                 it because they (d) wanted to exude a sense of independence, or is it that they want
                 to tell the world to stop (e) bother them? Or is it that they just want to (f) showed
                 how cool they are? Whether it is a workman or an executive, earphones have become
                 an (g) unseperated part of our lives, sometimes even (h) led to tragicomic situations.
