Cows have Short front teeth and Large and flat side teeth for which one of the following ?

  • A.Cutting grass and gnawing grass respectively
  • B.Gnawing grass and cutting grass respectively
  • C.Snipping grass and chewing grass respectively
  • D.Chewing grass and snipping grass respectively

Answer: C

The cow's short front teeth are for snipping grass and its large flat side teeth for chewing grass.

A cow has sharp front teeth (incisors) only in its lower jaw; it presses them against a hard pad in the upper jaw to cut or snip grass. The broad, flat molars at the sides grind and chew the grass, and it chews again when it brings food back up as cud.

Gnawing is what rodents such as rats and squirrels do with long, ever-growing front teeth, so the options using 'gnawing' describe a different animal. The last option reverses the roles of the two kinds of teeth.
