Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "Is Rover really any brighter than a hamster, a chicken, or that kid who's always eating Play-Doh?".

Explanation:

The informational text "Are Dogs Dumb?" by Karen Hopkin has the main objective to give information about what is animal intelligence. In order to make the text attractive to the audience, the author uses a humorous tone from time to time. One example is the excerpt "Is Rover really any brighter than a hamster, a chicken, or that kid who's always eating Play-Doh?". This results humorous because we can feel identified with the comparison of a kid eating Play-Doh's clay. Right after this humorous excerpt, the author goes back to the objective of the text by stating the question "How can you measure an animal's brain power?".
