In the context of building a house, a fence can serve multiple purposes such as marking the property boundaries, providing security and privacy, and keeping out unwanted animals or intruders. It is a practical and essential step in the construction process to establish a clear and defined space for the house.

    A. Yellow eyes
    Explanation
    The correct answer is yellow eyes. This suggests that the leader of the wild dogs is different from the rest of the pack, as yellow eyes are not a common eye color for dogs. This distinct feature could indicate the leader's dominance and authority within the group.

    Explanation
    The girl needed light to work on her weapons at night. The correct answer is sai-sai because sai-sai is a type of traditional Japanese oil lamp that can provide light. The other options, such as kelp, candles, and moonlight, may not be suitable for providing enough light for her work.
