Why did Erard Louw attach the phone-like device to the sheep he raises?A. Because he thought it was fun to do.B. Because the police there didnt care about animals.C. Because he liked hi-tech very much.D. Because he wanted to protect them against thieves.22. What does the underlined expression in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Try very hard to remember or think of something.B. Have a headache.C. Make the brain bigger.D. Shake the brain from side to side.23.
