Question

Instructions: Read the following paragraph and underlin the linking words you know.
There is a biological reason why drinking animal milk is odd.
Milk contains a type of sugar called lactose, which is distinct from the sugars found in
fruit and other sweet foods. When we are babies, our bodies make a special enzyme called
lactase that allows us to digest the lactose in our mother's milk. But after all this, we are
weaned in early childhood, for many people this stops. Without lactase, we cannot
properly digest the lactose in milk. As a result, if an adult drinks a lot of milk they may
experience flatulence, painful cramps and even diarrhea. (It's worth noting that in other
mammals, there aren't any lactase-persistent adults - adult cows don't have active
lactase, and neither do cats or dogs, for example).
