Read How smart are animals? by Dorothy Hinshaw Patent
Summarize the section "How Smart is Smart"
Answer:
When Andrea Anderson was saved by Villa, her neighbors' dog, after she got stuck in a snowdrift, many were impressed because Villa not only understood that Andrea needed help but also was able to complete the tasks required to do so. Villa´s bravery and intelligence got her the 1983 Ken-L Ration Dog Hero of the year.
Although until the 1960s scientists who specialized in animal behavior thought that animals could only act by instinct, not because of their intelligence, by the time Hinshaw's book was written the mental abilities of animals were considered better than previously believed.

Hinshaw is a scientist who specialized in animals and a writer of nature books for children. In this book, she debates whether or not animals can think and show signs of intelligence.
Answer:
I believe the quote that does not support the inference that living in Alaska can be a challenge is:
c) "During this time, Alaskans spend a lot of time outside enjoying nature."
Explanation:
Quotes A, B, and D all talk about the challenges of living in Alaska. Alaskans need to worry about their vitamin D intake, about adjusting their lifestyles to lack or excess of light, etc. However, option C does not talk of a challenge or a difficulty. If we read option C without the context given in the passage, we would not at all guess that it has anything to do with a difficult, demanding lifestyle. It sounds as if Alaskans simply get to have fun in nature. For that reason, letter C is the one that does not support the inference that living in Alaska can be a challenge.
