Model Answer

Mrs Pumphrey believes Tricki is suffering from malnutrition. To remedy it, she gives him extras like malt, cod-liver oil, and a bowl of Horlicks at night.

Explanation

The answer is directly stated in Mrs Pumphrey's dialogue in the passage. Examiners expect both parts: the reason (malnutrition) and the specific extras named. Keep it to one line for 1 mark.
