This question was fairly attempted by the candidates. In 2 (a), some candidates could identify pick axe or digger and mattock; whereas, majority of the candidates could not identify emasculator (Burdizzo/Castrator/Burdizzo plier). However, in 2(b), majority of the candidates were able to state the uses of pick axe or digger and mattock.
While in 2(c), many candidates were unable to mention the general maintenance practices for pick axe (digger), emasculator (burdizzo/castrator) and mattock.
In 2(d) (i and ii), majority of the candidates could state the major use of emasculator/burdizzo and give advantages of castrating farm animals.

The expected answers include:
General maintenance practices for P (Pick axe or Digger),                                                              Q (Emasculator /Burdizzo/Castrator), R (Mattock)
