Correct Answer(s)
A. Prevent ear hair from matting and causing more infection
B. Help with air circulation

Explanation
Clipping the inside of the dog's ear flap with a size 40 blade can help prevent ear hair from matting and causing more infection. This is because matted hair can trap moisture and create a breeding ground for bacteria and yeast, leading to infections. By clipping the hair, air circulation is improved, which can help keep the ear dry and reduce the risk of infection. Additionally, clipping the hair can prevent the dog from scratching excessively, which can cause sores and further complications.

- B.

Correct Answer
A. Short

Explanation
The English Springer Spaniel's head is covered with a fine, soft, short hair that conforms to the shape of the skull. This short hair helps to provide a sleek and neat appearance to the dog's head, while also allowing for better visibility of the facial features and expressions. Additionally, short hair is easier to maintain and groom, making it more practical for an active and energetic breed like the English Springer Spaniel.

- A.
  
  Communicate
- B.
  
  Balance
Correct Answer
A. Communicate

Explanation
Dogs use their tails to communicate with others. They wag their tails when they are happy or excited, and they tuck their tails between their legs when they are scared or submissive. While certain breeds also use their tails for balance when running and as rudders when swimming, the main function of a dog's tail is to convey their emotions and intentions to other dogs and humans. Therefore, active dogs with docked tails may have a harder time expressing themselves and may be at a disadvantage compared to dogs with their natural tails.
