Question

Kevin tired of tugging on the leather collar and resorted to begging. "C'mon Buddy," he pleaded. "I'm as disappointed as you are,

but this is our only remaining option."
The dog took pity on its master, whimpered, and followed him into the house. At first he hugged Kevin's legs like a clinging child,
but when Christopher waved a doggie treat in the other room, Buddy abandoned Kevin and trotted, tail wagging, into the kitchen. Kevin
took no offense to this action, since he too had been distracted by the scent of food on occasion. "I really appreciate you offering Buddy a
place to stay while I'm gone." Kevin said. "I had intended to include Buddy in the family reunion: he is a great traveling companion, but
Aunt Clara claims to be deathly allergic to dogs. She swears she developed this allergy since the last reunion."
Christopher chuckled and asked, "Sounds like you have doubts about your aunt's honesty, but what else would cause her to reject
this lovable mutt?"
Kevin settled into a chair and Buddy came over and rested his head on his master's bent knee. Kevin stroked the dog's head and
the underside of his chin. "It's a mystery to me." Kevin muttered, shrugging his shoulders. "Buddy is the perfect houseguest. He never
complains about what you offer him for dinner and he never fails to show gratitude for any kindness you show him."
"I predict this year you'll come home more informed about your relatives' lives than you have in previous years," Christopher said.
"The reality is, when you bring Buddy along, you probably devote your attention to him and ignore your family."
"Can you blame me?" Kevin asked. "I only see these people once every other year. Buddy is my constant companion: he already
knows everything about me: we don't need to trade life stories to create conversation."

Which can be inferred about Kevin from the dialogue?

1. He is more comfortable with his dog than with his distant relatives.

2. He behaves like the perfect guest at family reunions.

3. He doesn't think Christopher can take proper care of Buddy.

4. He is worried Buddy will miss seeing Aunt Clara.
HELLPPP PLEASEDS

Answer 1

Answer:1. he is more comfortable with his dog than with his distant relatives.

Explanation: 1. He is more comfortable with his dog than with his distant relatives. This can be inferred from Kevin's statement, "Buddy is my constant companion: he already knows everything about me: we don't need to trade life stories to create conversation." This shows that Kevin feels more at ease with Buddy than with his distant relatives, with whom he only sees once every other year.

He behaves like the perfect guest at family reunions. This cannot be inferred from the dialogue.

He doesn't think Christopher can take proper care of Buddy. This cannot be inferred from the dialogue. Kevin thanks Christopher for offering to take care of Buddy while he is gone, which suggests that he trusts Christopher to take proper care of his dog.

He is worried Buddy will miss seeing Aunt Clara. This cannot be inferred from the dialogue.
