The Swimmers by F. Scott Fitzgerald (excerpt) He floundered in the water. It went into his nose and started a raw stinging; it b

linded him; it lingered afterward in his ears, rattling back and forth like pebbles for hours. The sun discovered him, too, peeling long strips of parchment from his shoulders, blistering his back so that he lay in a feverish agony for several nights. After a week he swam, painfully, pantingly, and not very far. The girl taught him a sort of crawl, for he saw that the breast stroke was an obsolete device that lingered on with the inept and the old. Choupette caught him regarding his tanned face in the mirror with a sort of fascination, and the youngest boy contracted some sort of mild skin infection in the sand that retired him from competition. But one day Henry battled his way desperately to the float and drew himself up on it with his last breath.
How does the author reveal the setting of the story in this passage?
by mentioning a skin infection
by referring to "strips of parchment"
by referring to "feverish agony"
by mentioning water and sand

Draft a plan as to how the local people can look after stray and wounded animals in the neighborhood
AfilCa [17]
I have often observed that people tend to ignore strays and occasionally, even wounded animals. This is either due to lack of knowledge or if sensitive, lack of direction. They just do not know what to do or where to take the animals.
At least one could make an attempt to do better in such circumstances starting with their own neighbourhood. To make people aware of such sensitivity towards animals and to make a difference in the quality of life for animals, a welfare committee needs to be formed with animal lovers. The next step would be pool some funds to start functioning. The government or welfare organisation could be approached for funds or guidance.

Initially the committee could meet informally and plan out their actions. In the beginning, stray or wounded animals could be taken care of and attended to, in the nearest animal care centre available. This may work only temporarily and may not be convenient. Eventually, the committee would need to set up a place for animals to be brought in and attended to. They would need to keep the place replenished with food and medical necessities too.
A veterinary physician needs to be appointed at the centre. They would also need more volunteers once they are set up, to make an impactful difference in animal care. 

After all this is achieved they could start spreading awareness campaign through advertisement, posters, street shows, training etc.
