Question

read the excerpt from a speech petitioning people to adopt animals in need.
i am here today to persuade you to see the benefit of adopting your next pet from the animal shelter instead of purchasing it from a pet store. it is crucial to see the value in adopting animals and hopefully putting pet stores out of business. the health and well-being of our animal friends is what is at stake here. many people think it would be fun to get a cute designer animal from a boutique pet shop, but once we all know the truth behind their practices, we will be lining up at the shelter to fall in love with an animal in need. your new dog may not be a purebred dog with official papers and a customized small size, but you will know that your animal is healthy and eternally grateful that you provided him with a warm home.
which ideas from the excerpt would be most appropriate to include in a summary? choose two correct answers.
more people need to decide to have pets in their homes.
people need to adopt animals instead of going to pet shops.
animals bred through pet shops suffer health problems.
many people have a warm home and like animals.

Explanation:

The speech's main idea is to persuade people to adopt animals from shelters instead of buying from pet stores. The first option about more people having pets is too general and not specific to the speech's focus. The fourth option about people having warm homes and liking animals is also not the core message. The second option directly aligns with the speech's call to adopt instead of going to pet shops. The third option about pet - shop - bred animals suffering health problems supports the argument against pet stores, which is part of the overall message to adopt from shelters.

Answer:

B. People need to adopt animals instead of going to pet shops.
C. Animals bred through pet shops suffer health problems.
