The __________________________ is white in color and has large, drooping ears that cover most of its face.

• A. American Landrace
• B. Yorkshire
• C. Hereford
• D. Chester White

Answer: (A)

This item tests recognizing pig breeds by distinctive physical traits. The American Landrace is classically white and has very long, pendulous ears that hang down and often cover most of the face. That combination—pure white coat plus ears that droop and obscure the eyes—is a hallmark used to identify this breed.

For comparison: the Yorkshire is white as well but has ears that are typically erect rather than drooping. Hereford pigs are red with a white face (and sometimes a white belt), not pure white. Chester White is white with drooping ears too, but their ears are generally not as long or face-covering as those of the Landrace, so they don’t match the description as closely.
