Question

Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
Do you think veterinary doctors have a significant role in healing the injuries of
animals and birds?
When I was young, a barbed-wire fence made a
long deep cut on my pet, a white-tailed deer. I
cleansed the wound with carbolic water and
bandaged it. But he pulled the bandage off and
carefully licked the hair away from the injured
place, exposing it fully to the air and sunlight. He
took the entire charge and shortly healed himself.
Birds and animals appear to know just what herbs
will cure what ills. Our ancestors learned the basics of medicine by observing
what plants were sought out by animals suffering from wounds, fever and
alimentary disturbances.
When a wild creature is injured, it first seeks solitude and complete rest. Besides
paying attention to its external wound, it takes internal care. It may induce
vomiting. Members of the canine and feline families, when in physical distress,
eat green grass. An animal with fever hunts up an airy, shady place near water and
remains quiet, eating very little and drinking often. Some animals use the sunlight
to ease physical aches and pains.
When sick or wounded, wild creatures resort to the ancient remedies of
nature—natural medicines, pure air and complete relaxation. So how does a
veterinary doctor actually help?
1. On the basis of your reading of the passage, answer the following questions
in about 30–40 words each.
a. How did the white-tailed deer heal its wound?
b. According to the passage, where did our ancestors learn the basics of medicine
from?
c. What are the other means adopted by wild creatures to heal their wounds?
