Answer:

c

Explanation:

Dogs are protected from danger by their instincts, such as their keen sense of smell. This is the only answer choice that provides a counter-argument because it expresses a different view from the one expressed in the passage. The passage supports the idea of doing things to protect your pet from dangers around the house. So a counter-argument would support the idea that pets (in this case: dogs) can protect themselves. The answer choice gives a counter-argument that dogs have a keen sense of smell, suggesting they would be able to smell things and 'know' instinctively NOT to eat or chew it.

Answer:

the correct answer is both show Icarus drowning after the wax holding his wings together has melted.

Brueghel's painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus and Ovid's "The Story of Daedalus and Icarus" are similar because they both show Icarus drowning after ignoring his father's adivce and flying to close to the sun.

In the painting, we can see Icarus's feet sinking into the water. And, in Ovid's story, the melting of the wax holding Icarus's wings together along with his falling into the sea is clearly described.
