Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Explanation:

In the given sentence, the context suggests that the hawk is likely referring to the pigeons and doves, as birds suitable for consumption. The term "meat birds" implies that these birds are suitable for meat. The word "meek" in the second option fits well in this context, suggesting that these birds are mild or submissive and, therefore, easy prey for the hawk.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The hawk said that the pigeons and dove are meek birds .
