Question

Which of the following statements best explains the flaw in the logic of the scenario below?

Johnny has been working on his family’s farm for years. He knows the personalities of every animal they own, especially his beloved horse, Midnight. Because of his connection to Midnight, Johnny feels that he is completely safe when he is alone in the confines of her stall.

A. It impossible for a human to understand the personality of an animal. He cannot possibly predict her behaviors.
B. Horses are very territorial. It is unlikely that any horse would let a human in such close proximity to its personal space.
C. Knowing an animal’s personality does not mean every behavior can be predicted. It is never safe to be enclosed in a small space with an animal.
D. Understanding the personality of the animals may help him be a good trainer, but it is never safe for anyone to train an animal alone. At least two people are required.

Answer 1

D. sounds like the right answer.

Answer 2

D. Understanding the personality of the animals may help him be a good trainer, but it is never safe for anyone to train an animal alone. At least two people are required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equine training refers to a variety of practices that teach horses how to perform certain tasks or how to behave when requested by humans. Before being trained, however, most horses go through a series of basic steps that are understood by the so-called "tame horse." Both the training and the "equine tame" can be done by only one person, so we can say that among the options in the above question, the letter D is illogical.

Historically, horses have been trained for war, agricultural work, sport and transportation. Today, most horse training is geared toward breeding and developing horses that are useful for a variety of recreational and sporting activities, such as horse riding and equine therapy. Horses are also trained for special jobs such as mounted police and circus entertainment.
