Question

Read the paragraph. Rats are like dogs in many ways, which makes them good pets. They can be trained like dogs. They also love to play.
Which sentence should come next in the paragraph to best maintain the compare-and-contrast text structure? Both of them don’t take up a lot of space.
As well as they don’t take up a lot of space.
Instead, they don’t take up a lot of space.
However, they don’t take up a lot of space

Answer 1

The option A is correct.

Explanation:

Rats are like dogs in many ways, which makes them good pets. They can be trained like dogs. They also love to play. Both of them don’t take up a lot of space.

I chose this option, because this sentence fits well in the above paragraph.

If we chose other other options like the sentence starting with however or instead, these require one additional sentence. So if we want to cover the above paragraph, this options suits best.

Hope it helped.........

Answer 2

Answer:

However, they don’t take up a lot of space.

OPTION: D

Explanation:

I feel like this one is more accurate because with dogs you have to get a kennel, toys, etc. but rats don't need all of that. So correct me if i'm wrong but I am going with option D.
