Read the excerpt from "The Case for Shelter Animals," and observe the boldfaced evidence to support the main argument.
What does that mean for the dogs and cats who are not adopted? Sadly, it means that they are at risk of being put down. So, in a very real sense, adopting a dog or a cat from a shelter is literally an act that can save that animal’s life. This is why adopting a shelter animal is also known as rescuing it.
The main argument is that adopting a pet is what is most humane for animals.
Which answer best uses the evidence to evaluate the main argument?
A.The argument is effective; the evidence explains what happens to animals that are not adopted.
B.The argument is effective; the evidence presents what life is like for shelter animals.
C.The argument is ineffective; the evidence explains the difficulty of running a shelter.
D.The argument is ineffective; the evidence does not provide valid reasoning.
