Question

Natalia has prepared a presentation to convince dog lovers to adopt a dog rather than buy one. Here is her thesis statement: Adopting a stray or rescued dog has many more advantages than buying a puppy. Which two of the following ideas would help support her thesis?

A. An adopted dog may be less trusting than a puppy that has had no experience with humans.

B. An adopted dog may already have had necessary medical procedures.

C. An adopted dog may suffer from problems due to a difficult puppyhood

D. An adopted dog may already have been trained at the animal shelter or in its previous home.

E. An adopted dog may not be your favorite breed.



Which two of the following ideas would help support her thesis?

Answer 1

B and D

She's trying to get people to adopt a dog, therefore her supporting details would be positive, not negative, hope this helps

Answer 2

The answers are B and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Natalia wants to support the idea that a stray or rescued dog has many advantages than a bought one, options A, C, and E wouldn't be good for her thesis since they express negative things about adopting or rescuing a dog.

On the other hand, option B mentions that an adopted dog may already have had necessary medical procedures, meaning that it would save time for the new owner. Option D says that an adopted dog may already have been trained at the animal shelter or in its previous home so it also would be very helpful for its new family.
