Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

ANS:A
few years ago, it was discovered that the lead shot that is used in shotgun shells was killing
waterfowl long after the hunting season was over. Waterfowl do not know the difference between lead
shot and the small rocks they must eat to grind the seeds and plant materials that make up their food.
When lead shot is eaten, it is gradually absorbed into the body, causing lead poisoning to occur.
Eventually, it causes the death of the affected birds. Simply replacing lead shot with steel shot
eliminates this problem.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
