試題分析：Parbati覺得保護大象是她的工作，每當大象闖入村莊的時候，她都會引導他們回到叢林里去。而且Parbati認為大象有時候也比人類更加忠誠，她愿意保護他們。

【1】B句意：她說：我的公主是保護人們不受大象的傷害，也保護大象不受人們的傷害。work 工作，在這里是一個名詞。根據文意可知，Parbati覺得捕捉大象不是為了娛樂，她覺得這是她的工作。故應選B。

【2】A句意：然而，印度的大象多年來都非常的氣憤，獵人們攻擊它，它在森林里的家也變得越來越小。However 然而，是一個副詞，表示轉折。根據文意可知，這里是轉折的關系。故選A。

【3】E句意：凡是野生的大象進入茶園或是村子的時候，人們都會叫來Parbati去引導它們回到叢林里。guide 引導，是一個動詞。根據句意可知，Parbati引導大象回到叢林里去，不要闖入人們居住的地方。故應選E。

【4】C句意：它們也比人類更忠誠。faithful 忠誠的，是一個形容詞。根據上句話Finally they grow to love their tamers...可知，如果人們對大象好，大象也會喜歡上它們的馴象師，會對他們忠誠。故應選C。
