Item 9 Which excerpt from "A Cat Is Not a Can of Soup" represents the author's opinion on the subject? When the shelter gets too
crowded, some of the confused animals have to be sent to temporary foster homes. I happen to think that animals from shelters appreciate good homes even more than pet shop animals do, making them more faithful and affectionate. They make sure each one gets exercise, has clean quarters, and is seen by a veterinarian. Also, they will not allow any pet to leave the shelter until it has had its shots and has been neutered.
The excerpt that represents the author's opinion on the subject is:
B. I happen to think that animals from shelters appreciate good homes even more than pet shop animals do, making them more faithful and affectionate.
Explanation:
The other options are stating facts. The first one explains that animals are sent to foster homes when the shelter gets too full. The third one states that animals are well taken care of. And the last one says pets only leave the shelter when properly vaccinated. Only the second option presents an opinion instead of a fact. Here, the author talks about what he thinks and feels. In the author's opinion, animals from shelters are grateful and affectionate, even more than animals from pet shops. Some people may disagree with this statement, after all it is just an opinion, not a proved fact.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of a dwarf planet because it did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet. Essentially Pluto meets all the criteria except one—it “has not cleared its neighboring region of other objects."
