(b) It was breathing
(c) It was crying
(d) It was sleeping
Answer as written by the student:
The correct answer is A) It was stillborn
Step-by-step explanation of the answer:
- A stillborn is a baby that is born dead or dies before or during birth. 😢
- In the extract, the child is described as “lifeless” and “limp”, which means it has no signs of life or movement. 🚫
- Andrew, who is a doctor, tries to revive the child by using different methods of respiration and stimulation. But there is no response from the child. 😔
- This shows that the child was stillborn when Andrew first saw it, and he could not save it. 😥
- Option A is the correct answer. 🎉
