Question

A. Short Story: A young hippo tells his story of growing so big that no home could hold him, so he sets out on his own to survive.
B. Stage Play: A pack of rabbits find themselves in need of a new leader, so they devise a plan to set up a government to maintain order in their rabbit world.
C. Movie: A documentary traces the background of a dog sold at the local pet store all the way back to its birth at a puppy breeding farm.
D. Song: A kitten sings about his adoption from a charity organization into a new family.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Short Story: A young hippo tells his story of growing so big that no home could hold him, so he sets out on his own to survive. Here, the hippo is used as a representation for animal population and if the population grows just like the hippo did, countries won't be able to accomodate them so they will go on their own like the hippo, which can cause many bad things from destroying the ecosystem, to attacking people, or anything similar.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A. "Short Story: A young hippo tells his story of growing so big that no home could hold him, so he sets out on his own to survive". Talking about pet overpopulation is not an easy task, because thousands of people love pets and the topic could be not well received for them. A short story that involves a hippo growing so big that no home could hold him is an effective disguise to talk about pet overpopulation, which is friendly, easy to understand and easy to relate with the topic.
