Question 3

Read carefully the passage given below and answer the questions
(a),(b), (c) and (d) that follow:

They can be eccentric, slow afoot, even grouchy. But dogs live out their final day
humility and grace we all could learn from.
Not long before his death, Harry and I headed out for a walk that proved e'\fen

~
. He was

nearly 13, old for a big dog. Walks were no longer the frenzies of pur. o
r were they the

which we would cast madly off in all directions fighting for com
exuberant archaeological expeditions of his middle years, wh@'h
or blade of grass held tantalizing secrets about his neighbolifs:
transformed his walk into a simple head-down trudg~

his old age, Harry had

n finished, he would shuffle

home to his ratty old bed, which graced our livi~~because Harry could no longer
ascend the stairs.
On these walks, Harry seemed obliviou~ ~

urroundings absorbed in the arduous

responsibility of placing foot before ~~ B t this time on the edge of a small urban park, he
stopped to watch something. A~~' throwing a frisbee to his dog. The dog, about
Harry's size was tracking t e

expertly, as Harry had once done too. Harry sat for 10

his tail a- twitch. ~

. for you. They find you brilliant, even if

cf dog; they make it so easy

~ou fascinate them, even if you are as dull as a butter knife. They are fond

of you,,. ven 1 .you are a genocidal maniac. Hitler loved his dogs and they loved him.
I t~

ed with eight dogs, watched six of them grow old and infirm with grace and

dign~ and die with what seemed to be acceptance. I have seen old dogs grieve at the loss
of their friends. I have come to believe that as they age, dogs comprehend the passage of
time. They understand that what's gone is gone.
In our dogs, we see ourselves. Dogs exhibit almost all of our emotions; if you think a dog
cannot register envy or pity or pride or melancholia, you have never lived with one for any
length of time. What dogs lack is our ability to dissimulate. They wear ~heir emotions
nakedly, and so, in watching them, we see ourselves as we would be if we were stripped of
posture and pretence. Their innocence is enormously appealing. When we watch a dog
progress from puppyhood to old age, we are watching our own lives in microcosm. Or dogs

become old, frail, crotchety, and vulnerable, just as Grandma did, just as we surely will.
1len we grieve for them, we grieve for ourselves.

a) Three words from the passage are given below. Give the meaning of each as used in
the passage. One word answers and short phrases will be accepted.

(i)
eccentric
