Question

Which animal should be protected?
A. Harmless
B. Economically useful
C. Likely to perish
D. Ferocious

Answer 1

Those who are in need of actual protection whether the animal is harmful or harmless but those who need protection need to be protected first. Likely to perish means those animals which are likely to die and they should be given the first preference in order for their protection, whether the animal is harmful or harmless those who are most likely to become extinct should be given the preference.

Complete answer:
If we look at the options then option A which is harmless, it is completely incorrect as it should not matter whether the animal is harmless or harmful as if that animal who is more likely to die or become extinct, they need more protection. Their protection is not based on harmless or harmful animals. Therefore, this option is incorrect and hence it gets eliminated.
Moving to option B which is Economically useful, economic usefulness of the animal should not be the first determining factor for the protection of them, first preference for the protection should be given to those who are most likely to become extinct and they need first protection as compared to the economically useful animal. Therefore, this option is incorrect and hence it gets eliminated.
Moving to option C which is Likely to perish. Likely to perish means likely to die. Yes this option is the correct one since those animals which are likely to die need the most protection as they will become extinct really early and they most certainly need the protection. Therefore, this option is the correct one.
Last option is D which is Ferocious animals, it means the animals which are harmful or dangerous but this should not be the determining factor while protecting any animal, those who need protection should get protected be it the harmless animal or the harmful one. Therefore, this is not the correct option and it gets eliminated.

Thus, the correct answer is option C which is likely to perish.

Note: According to the given options, most suitable is likely to perish since they are most close to death and if they will be protected then they will not become extinct that early. They will not die that early if they will be protected so this is the determining factor in order to protect animals.
