1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

In most animals, teeth are essential for basic survival. They are necessary for preparing food for ingestion and as a weapon for defence or attack. The loss of teeth leads to inability of the animal to defend itself and to catch and prepare food.

In many animals, once the food is taken inside the mouth, it has to be chopped or ground before being swallowed, to ensure satisfactory digestion. However, over the millennia, the human race has depended less and less on teeth for survival. Modern food preparation involving meticulous and delicate cutting, grinding and cooking has resulted in a softer diet, which can be eaten easily even by people with poor,dental health. That is not to say that teeth are unimportant for consuming a modern diet, but their role in ensuring an adequate nutrition is very much,reduced.

Indeed, in most human societies an important role that has emerged for teeth is to enhance appearance. Facial appearance is tremendously important in determining an individual's integration into the society. During conversation, at interviews in films or television, our attention is largely focussed on the face and thereby people spend much time making their faces as acceptable and attractive as possible.

Looking through the various glossy magazines available, we see well-groomed smiling faces. An essential component of any film star's face is a row of attractive teeth which are pearly white in colour, well aligned and surrounded by pink healthy gums, firm jaws, cheeks and lips.

Teeth are not only attractive in themselves but they support the position of the soft tissues of the cheeks and lips and so have a marked influence on the profile of the middle and lower face.

Another attribute of teeth is their role in speech and communication. Teeth are essential for generating certain sounds.

The difference is easily noticeable when someone has forgotten their set of dentures. Teeth are, therefore important in eating, speaking and in enhancing appearance, thus raising a person's social acceptability.
