Answer:
Dogs are clumsy and shed their hair everywhere is irrelevant.
Explanation: This is because it doesn't prove the point that dogs are better than cats and is a negative.
I think the answer is B. I hope it helps! :)
The preposition in question is "on", and its purpose is to show you where the dog chewed. You can remove the preposition to form the sentence "The brown dog chewed the rawhide bone." You can also rearrange it to find the preposition, "on the rawhide bone, the dog chewed" in what is commonly known as the Yoda technique.
The denotation is the literal meaning, so D. is the answer.
