Question

what is the topic of this passage?
experimentation on animals is cruel and unnecessary. it is wrong to test drugs and products on animals. just because animals cannot speak, it does not mean they do not feel any pain or discomfort. also, there is no guarantee that what is safe for animals will be safe for humans.
however, these experiments still continue. in today’s world, where science has come so far in what it can do, there has to be a better way to test products.

a. testing makeup products on animals
b. the dangers of science
c. animal experimentation
d. alternatives to animal tests

Explanation:

The passage discusses the cruelty and unnecessary nature of experimenting on animals, including testing drugs/products on them and the lack of guarantee of safety for humans. Option A is too narrow (focuses only on makeup products, but the passage is about general animal experimentation for drugs/products). Option B is incorrect as the passage isn't about dangers of science but about animal experimentation. Option D is incorrect as the passage mainly criticizes animal experimentation, not focus on alternatives (it only mentions there should be a better way briefly, not the main topic). Option C, "animal experimentation", encompasses the main idea of the passage which is about the issues with experimenting on animals.

Answer:

C. animal experimentation
