Directions (36-44): Read the following passage and 
answer the given questions. 
In the world of armed forces, dogs play an extraordinary role 
that goes far beyond companionship. They serve as trackers, 
guards, messengers, and protectors, often working in harsh 
terrains and unpredictable missions. Military dogs are 
essential for detecting hidden explosives, tracking infiltrators, 
and alerting troops to potential threats. Their sharp instincts, 
unmatched loyalty, and rigorous preparation make them 
indispensable partners in critical operations. They are not 
just supporting figures; they are front-line defenders. Far 
from being fillers in military structures, these brave animals 
are sentinels, standing watch when danger lurks and acting 
with courage when every second counts. 
Among these remarkable canines was Snowy, a spirited dog 
with a gleaming white coat that earned him his name. From 
the moment he arrived at the training center, his alert eyes and 
quick learning impressed everyone. Snowy was trained at a 
specialized military academy where he mastered complex 
commands, learned to detect explosives, and adapted to 
challenging terrains. He was conditioned to remain calm 
under pressure, respond to silent signals, and work 
seamlessly with his handler. His training was not merely about 
obedience; it was about building instincts, discipline, and 
trust. 
Once Snowy joined the unit at a remote border post, he 
quickly became a beloved member of the team. Soldiers 
admired his energy, while his handler relied on his sharp 
senses during night patrols. One freezing night, the camp lay 
quiet under a pale moonlight. The soldiers were resting after 
a long day when Snowy’s ears suddenly __________________. He 
sensed movement near the perimeter. Without hesitation, he 
barked sharply and ran toward the fence, alerting the guards. 
His timely reaction allowed the soldiers to spot and intercept 
a group trying to cross the border secretly. Snowy’s vigilance 
averted a potential threat, and that night, he truly embodied 
the role of a sentinel—watchful, fearless, and devoted. 
Beyond his operational duties, Snowy shared a deep 
emotional bond with the soldiers. He sensed when someone 
was anxious, resting his head gently on their knees, as if 
offering silent comfort. He celebrated victories with wagging 
enthusiasm and stood quietly beside those who missed home. 
Snowy was more than a military dog; he was a loyal friend, a 
trusted partner, and a hero in his own right. His story reflects 
the invaluable role dogs play in safeguarding lives and 
supporting those who protect the nation.
