Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The poodle does not have a shed cycle and so it may be the least offensive pet for the allergic child.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
When a permanent tooth is avulsed, the tooth should be picked up by the crown to prevent any further damage to the root and placed in milk until the child can be examined by a dentist.
