Question 2
Part B

Which evidence from the text best supports the answer to Part A?

"So those who buy from pet stores and breeders can expect to pay those fees on top of already-high purchase costs."

"The guide states that adopting a dog or a cat from a shelter usually costs between $50 and $500."

"Meanwhile, an animal from a pet store typically costs at least $1,000. Breeders are even more expensive."

"One reason that adopting pets from shelters is the logical choice is that shelter animals are less expensive than those bought from pet stores or breeders."

"Adoption costs more money than buying a pet" is an incorrect statement because if we extract the conclusion combinedly from statements 2 and 3, it is clear that adoption cost is in the range of $50 and $500 in the case of a shelter animal while an animal from a pet store typically costs at least $1,000.

"Pet stores are more expensive than breeders", this is an incorrect statement because in the third paragraph it is mentioned that "an animal from a pet store typically costs at least $1,000. Breeders are even more expensive."

"It is more expensive to buy a pet than it is to adopt" is a correct statement because in the fourth paragraph it is mentioned that "adopting pets from shelters is the logical choice because shelter animals are less expensive than those bought from pet stores or breeders."

"Cats are more expensive than dogs" is an incorrect statement because in the second paragraph it s mentioned, "adopting a dog or a cat from a shelter usually costs between $50 and $500." There has not been discussed anything about the individual adoption costs for each.

Therefore, Statement 1 is incorrect.

Statement 2 is incorrect.

Statement 3 is correct.

Statement 4 is incorrect.
