Question

The author wants to add more evidence in paragraph 5 to support the claim that adopting a pet doesn’t have to mean giving up on your dream breed. Which kind of evidence would be most relevant and would show no bias?

A. An excerpt from an editorial against adoption written by the owner of a puppy mill.

B. A list of animal shelters within a local community.

C. A quotation from a woman with two adopted greyhounds about how much she loves her pets.

D. A statistic about the percentage of dogs in shelters that are purebreds.

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is D. A statistic about the percentage of dogs in shelters that are purebreds.

Explanation: A quotation from a woman with two adopted greyhounds about how much she loves her pets already shows biased since it says she lovers her pets. A list of animal shelters with a local community doesn't include anything about giving up on a breed you may want. And finally an excerpt from a editorial against adoption written by the owner of a puppy mill will have the author writing why you SHOULD buy from a puppy mill. So therefore the answer is D.
