Model Answer & Options

Source: Textbook

(i) As a staff member, I would express concern about Tricki’s health and suggest limiting rich food and encouraging daily walks. I would try to convince Mrs. Pumphrey gently without offending her. (ii) As a neighbour, I might find her actions amusing, but I would be concerned about Tricki. I might even recommend a vet visit. Life around her would be interesting yet frustrating due to her anxious behavior and overreactions.
