SECTION V

Attending high school in a rural area rather than in the city is memorable in many ways. It gave me my first experience of farming, especially of farming 41. implements. On our first visit to the school farm, we are introduced to many tools that are commonly used there. One of them is the machete which is used for 42. clearing the bushes. When there is the need to remove tree stumps and huge stones, we use the 43. pick-axe. We use the hoe to dig in order to loosen the 44. soil. However, in preparing beds, the 45. spade is preferable. Seeds are nursed on these beds, and when they 46. developed, they are transplanted. To irrigate the farm, we build a 47. trough, into which we pour a lot of water that drains gradually through 48. ditches into the rest of the farm. In addition to this, we use the watering-can to 49. sprinkle water on the seedlings. Later, we use the trowel to loosen the soil around the young plants. When there is no trowel, a gardening 50. fork can be used.

Here are the selected options:

41. A. implements
42. D. clearing
43. B. pick-axe
44. A. soil

46. A. developed
