Answer 2

$\huge{\boxed{\bf{ANSWER}}}}}$

→ Mrs. Pumphrey's "only fault" was he pampering attitude towards Tricki. Her pampering spoilt her pet dog, Tricki. In her love for him, she let him overeat; she did not make him do exercise. As a result Tricki became exceedingly fat. His health suffered. He had to be admitted to James Herriot’s clinic where he treated him by not giving him much to eat and making him do lots of physical exercise.

→ Ans. Ebright's mother played an  important role in making him a  scientist. She motivated him to  learn new things. She took him  on trips, bought him telescopes,  microscopes, cameras, mounting  material and other equipment .  Every evening mother and son  worked together at the dining  table. If Ebright had nothing to

do, she would find his work learning work. He was a keen  learner, liked learning and got A'

grade throughout his schooling.  She also bought him a book,  "The Travels of Monarch X', which  opened the world of science to  him. Ebright's mother helped him  to become a scientist by  sustaining his interest in the

scientific field.
