Question

[119]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "A forest guard's day begins before dawn with footprints. A broken twig, a pugmark in dust, a call heard and not seen — each is a clue to which animals passed in the night. The guard does not chase animals; he records, protects waterholes, and warns villages when elephants move nearby. His notebook, over years, becomes a record of the forest's health: fewer footprints mean trouble, new ones mean recovery. The guard's work shows that conservation is often quiet watching and recording, not dramatic rescue." What clues does the guard read at dawn?
