Teacher guide & answers
In this lesson: Distinguish a campaign goal from a verified outcome and interpret substitution.
The rabies campaign distinguished connected roles
How to use these two pages
Give learners the student worksheet. It contains the story and questions, without the answers. Keep this guide for yourself. Use it to lead the activity and explain the answers afterwards.
Student worksheetA simple 15–20-minute lesson
- Before reading · 2 minutes
Show the title. Ask: “What do you think this story is about?”
- Read and answer · 8–10 minutes
Give out the student worksheet. Learners read for the main idea, then reread to answer the 2 questions. They can compare answers with a partner.
- Discuss and write · 5–8 minutes
Check the answers below together. Ask learners to point to the clue in the story, then finish with the open question.
Adjust the support: Let learners use word help or Level 1 if needed. For a challenge, compare the wording in another level. This activity is not a proficiency test.
Answers to the 2 questions
The question numbers match the student worksheet. Each answer includes a reason and the clue learners can find in the story.
Which conclusion would overstate the campaign?
Correct answer: B — Rabies elimination has already been achieved.
Why: The final paragraph explicitly rejects treating the goal as proof of elimination.
Clue in the story: The distinction matters: a population prevention programme cannot substitute for an exposed person’s care, and a campaign’s goal must not be presented as proof that elimination has already been achieved.
What does “cannot substitute for” mean here?
Correct answer: B — Cannot replace
Why: The passage says prevention cannot replace care for an exposed person.
Clue in the story: The distinction matters: a population prevention programme cannot substitute for an exposed person’s care, and a campaign’s goal must not be presented as proof that elimination has already been achieved.
The open question: accept different answers
Ask learners: Summarise the population and individual roles without claiming disease elimination.
One possible answer: Dog vaccination addresses infection at its source, while prompt medical assessment remains necessary after suspected human exposure. Coordinating those roles supports the campaign’s goal but does not prove elimination has already occurred.
This is an example, not the only correct answer. Look for a relevant idea, a reason and the learner’s own words. Learners can answer aloud or write one or two sentences.
Grammar to discuss
A continuing requirement
prompt medical assessment remains necessary
“Remains” emphasises that the requirement continues despite population-level prevention work.
