    A. Head is trimmed into a chrysanthemum.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Head is trimmed into a chrysanthemum." This means that when grooming a West Highland White Terrier, the hair on its head is shaped to resemble a chrysanthemum flower. The other information provided in the question, such as the pattern being the same for hand stripping or clipping and the need to leave the furnishings (facial hair) short and neatened with scissors, are not relevant to the correct answer.

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given statement suggests that when clipping the throat area of an animal, it is recommended to use a clipper blade size between 10 and 7. It is important to use the same size blade as on the body or slightly shorter to ensure a consistent and even cut. By clipping just the throat area and leaving a clear line between the head and the throat, a neat and defined appearance can be achieved. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Looking at the side of the nose, comb over the muzzle and cheeks, and then trim the lower jaw line to balance with the rest of the ______ head.

    • Round

    • Oval

    • Flat

    Correct Answer
    A. Round
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Round because the question is asking for the type of head shape that should be balanced with the trimmed lower jaw line. By combing over the muzzle and cheeks and trimming the lower jaw line, the goal is to create a balanced look with the rest of the head. Since the question does not provide any specific details about the head shape, we can assume that a round head shape is the most suitable option for achieving this balance.

    • Hair

    Correct Answer
    A. Coat
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Coat" because the question mentions that there needs to be more coat on the side and top of the tail than underneath it. This suggests that the answer is referring to the fur or hair covering the tail, rather than fluff or hair in general.

    Rate this question:
