Question

passage
the bowl was perfect. perhaps it was not what youd select if you faced a shelf of bowls, and not the sort of thing that would inevitably attract a lot of attention at a crafts fair, yet it had real presence. it was as predictably admired as a mutt who has no reason to suspect he might be funny. just such a dog, in fact, was often brought out (and in) along with the bowl.
andrea was a real - estate agent, and when she thought that some prospective buyers might be dog - lovers, she would drop off her dog at the same time she placed the bowl
question 6 of 7
in the passage, the admiration the bowl receives is directly compared to the admiration received by:
○ a mutt.
○ a plastic frog.
○ a cherry table.
○ the aroma of spring.

Explanation:

The passage states "It was as predictably admired as a mutt who has no reason to suspect he might be funny" and also mentions the mutt was brought out with the bowl. So the bowl's admiration is compared to that of a mutt. The other options (plastic frog, cherry table, aroma of spring) have no such comparison in the passage.

Answer:

A. a mutt
