Question

Read the passage from "A Cat Is Not a Can of Soup." During my visit to the shelter, I learned that its two paid staff members and 13 volunteers spend time with every animal. Which claim does this evidence best support? A: One of the most important reasons for adopting a pet from the shelter is that you are giving a home to an animal that will be much happier in a stable household. B: A great benefit that might surprise you is that pets are not expensive at a shelter. C: On the other hand, a definite point in favor of the Ferndale Shelter is that only animal lovers work there, and there are plenty of them to give the animals good care! D: You won't have a problem finding a gentle or sociable pet at the shelter.

Answer 1

C: On the other hand, a definite point in favor of the Ferndale Shelter is that only animal lovers work there, and there are plenty of them to give the animals good care!

Step-by-step explanation:

The detail about the number of people working at the shelter shows that the animals are in good care. Since there are so many volunteers, it can be assumed that they love animals as well since they're not being paid. We don't have any other details about how expensive, gentle or sociable the pets are.

Answer 2

C: It is proven that enough people spend time with the animal

Nothing else can be proved using this passage
