I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: There has been an outpouring of love for a 23-year-old disabled woman whose dog was killed in front of her while a groomer tried to trim its claws. Calls and e-mails came from as far away as the Upper Peninsula and Arizona as well as Oakland and Macomb counties, offering Laurie Crouch, who uses a wheelchair because of multiple sclerosis , everything from dogs to money, such as that from Jason Daly of Roseville who said, " I would like to buy her a new dog." A story about the death of Crouch's pet, Gooch, was printed on the front page of Macomb Daily. Crouch said a man sat on the dog to trim its nails. Gooch died after one claw was trimmed. Crouch yelled at the groomer to stop when she saw Gooch was struggling to breathe, but she said she was ignored. "If I could have walked, I would have put my hands on her and pulled her off my dog and physically stopped her, but I can't do that." Gooch was not a trained service animal, but naturally helped Crouch by picking up things for her. "This case is absolute animal abuse ," Larry Obrecht, division manager of the Oakland County Animal Shelter in Auburn Hills, said. People who read the story contacted Oakland Press to offer help. A message, from Rebecca Amett of Giggles N Wiggles Puppy Rescue, in Roseville, said, "We have puppies to donate ... and want to help the young woman who lost her service dog." "When Gooch was with me, I was happy," Crouch said, "I think I can be happy again but no animal can replace Gooch. There's never going to be another Gooch out there but I think I will find a dog that can bring me joy again." Question: What does the passage mainly tell us? Options: A: A disabled woman's service dog. B: A cruel groomer killed a disabled woman's dog. C: People's love for a disabled woman who lost her dog. D: Disabled woman loves to have the dog as company.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Many American youngsters earn their own allowance by doing temporary jobs for their neighbors. Babysitting is one of the common of these jobs. Most couples do not have maids or relatives living with them, and they need to have someone watch the children if they want to go out. Another way is by mowing lawn in summer and clearing snow from sidewalks and driveways in winter. Many people mow their own lawns,but often people prefer to give the job to a neighbor's child. In winter, snow clearing from streets and highways is the government's responsibility. Homeowners or tenants, however, must clear sidewalks and driveways. Since clearing snow is very tiring, many people prefer to hire teenagers for this job rather than do it themselves. Besides, many American teenagers usually work two to three hours after school and all day on Saturday or Sunday at the local supermarket. They work as cashiers or stockroom clerks. Or they help customers carry things to their cars. Other favorite jobs are waiting on tables in restaurants or working part-time at stores or gas stations. By earning their own allowance,teenagers acquire a feeling of independence and a sense of responsibility which prepares them for a productive life in society. Question: How do American youngsters earn their allowance? Which one is NOT one of the ways? Options: A: By mowing lawn in summer. B: By clearing snow from sidewalks and driveways in winter. C: By working two to three hours after school and all day on Saturday or Sunday. D: By doing some housework for the family.

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: The coyote , that clever animal of wide-open spaces, has come to the nation's capital. In fact, coyotes have spread to every corner of the United States, changing their behaviors to fit new environments and causing researchers to deal with a troublesome new kind of creature: the city coyote. The coyote originally lived in the middle of the continent. One of its most obvious characters is its smartness, which has made the animal a notorious pest. Hunters trapped, shot and poisoned more than a million coyotes in the 1900s. It's still one of America's most hunted animals. Yet the coyote has survived. How has the coyote shown this extraordinary ability? "I guess if you wanted to use one word, it'd be ' _ '," says Eric Gese, an expert at Utah State University. Coyotes can live alone, in pairs, or in large packs like wolves; hunt at night or during the day; occupy a small region or an area up to 40 square miles; and live on all sorts of food, from lizards and shoes, to ants and melons. Unbelievably people helped coyotes increase when they killed most of the wolves in the United States. The spreading of coyotes into city areas, though, is recent. They travel at night, crossing sidewalks and bridges, running along roads and ducking into culverts and underpasses. No one knows why coyotes are moving into cities, but experts explain that cleverer, more human-tolerant coyotes are teaching urban survival skills to new generations. Occasionally, coyotes might attack human beings. There have been about 160 attacks on people in recent years. Therefore, people have been consistently told not to feed coyotes or leave pet food unsecured. That, plus a large trapping program in the neighborhood, has cut down on the coyote population. Question: According to the passage, to cut down on the coyote population, people are advised to _ . Options: A: leave pet food secured B: keep coyotes in small regions C: force coyotes to live alone D: avoid using trapping programs
(Answer)
A
