Question

1. what does the word \currying\ mean as it is used in paragraph 14?

a. encouraging

b. seasoning

c. brushing

d. beating

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context of "currying" in paragraph 14 (assuming it's about horse care or a similar context where "currying" a horse means brushing its coat).

• Option A: "Encouraging" doesn't relate to the typical meaning of "currying" in such contexts.
• Option B: "Seasoning" is for food, not relevant here.
• Option C: "Brushing" matches the meaning of currying (e.g., currying a horse involves brushing its coat).
• Option D: "Beating" is incorrect as currying is a gentle brushing action.

Answer:

C. brushing
