    • He needed to earn money for the TECC.

    • He believed elephants could play music.

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. He believed elephants could play music.
    Explanation
    Richard Lair started the Thai Elephant Orchestra because he believed elephants could play music. This suggests that he had a belief in the musical abilities of elephants and wanted to explore this potential by creating an orchestra. The other options, such as wanting the elephants to play music or needing to earn money for the TECC, do not align with the given answer.

  • 5. 

    Which is true of these?

    • Making music comes naturally to Elephants.

    • Elephants cry when they make music.

    • Elephants jump while they make music.

    • All of these are true.

    Correct Answer
    A. Making music comes naturally to Elephants.
    Explanation
    Elephants are known for their ability to produce low-frequency sounds, often referred to as infrasounds, which are below the range of human hearing. These sounds can be considered as a form of music, as they serve various purposes such as communication and social bonding. Elephants have a natural talent for creating these musical sounds, making it true that making music comes naturally to them. There is no mention or evidence to support the claims that elephants cry or jump while making music, so those options are not true.

    • Staying in a zoo

    • Making roads

    • Carrying tourists or dragging logs

    Correct Answer
    A. Carrying tourists or dragging logs
    Explanation
    Elephants in Thailand often have to work by carrying tourists or dragging logs in order to make a living. This is a common practice in the country, where elephants are used for various tasks such as transportation and labor. The tourism industry heavily relies on these majestic creatures to provide rides and entertainment for visitors. Additionally, elephants are also used in the logging industry to haul heavy logs. This answer aligns with the context of Thailand and the traditional roles that elephants play in the country's economy.

    • A normal animal

    • A national symbol

    • A symbol of strength

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. A national symbol
    Explanation
    Elephants in Thailand are reserved as a national symbol. This means that they hold significant cultural and historical importance in the country. Elephants have long been revered in Thai culture, symbolizing power, strength, and wisdom. They are often associated with Thai royalty and have been used in ceremonies and processions. The Thai government and people have taken steps to protect and preserve elephants, recognizing their importance as a national symbol and as a part of the country's heritage.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Elephants make music in specific genres.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Elephants do not make music in specific genres. While elephants are known for their ability to produce low-frequency sounds and communicate with each other through vocalizations, these sounds cannot be classified as music in specific genres. Music is a human cultural construct that involves elements such as melody, rhythm, and harmony, which elephants do not possess the ability to create intentionally. Therefore, the statement is false.

    • The orchestra’s CD sales earn money for the TECC.

    Correct Answer
    A. The elephants dance while playing music.
    Explanation
    The sentence "The elephants dance while playing music" is not true. The Thai Elephant Orchestra does not involve elephants dancing while playing music. The orchestra consists of elephants using their trunks to make sounds and using their voices to make sounds. Additionally, the CD sales of the orchestra contribute to earning money for the TECC (Thai Elephant Conservation Center).

This suggests that the elephants are provided with opportunities and support to engage in artistic activities, specifically painting. This could be a way for the center to promote enrichment and stimulation for the elephants, allowing them to express themselves creatively.
