Question

1)

Answer 1

The correct answer is A) "My grandmother had four cats, but we wanted a dog." This sentence does not agree with the main idea of choosing a family dog.

The best answer that identifies and explains why the chosen statement does not belong in the paragraph is the following:  "My grandmother had four cats, but we wanted a dog." This sentence does not agree with the main idea of choosing a family dog.

To prove that the answer is correct, you could take that sentence off the text, and it does not affect it at all. The meaning would be the same. So the lesson here is that when writing a text, never add unnecessary sentences or ideas. Remember to be clear and direct, as concise as you can, and double-check your paper to edit the ideas that are redundant.

Answer 2

The answer is A, because the grandma having 4 cats is not relevent to getting a dog.

Hope that helps a lot.
