Veronica makes the following claim in a research paper:
animal therapy is a ground-breaking new method for
improving the lives of children with autism.
of the supporting evidence below, which statement is least relevant to her
claim?
a. dolphins are actually the smartest mammal (besides humans),
but they are nearly impossible to keep as pets.
b. psychologist nancy brison has found that adding a fish tank to her
waiting room has decreased the anxiety of patients before an
appointment
c. dogs have been shown to have a calming effect on the classroom
climate.
d. a new camp in pennsylvania lets autistic children bond with
horses through riding lessons and stable chores.

A. Dolphins are actually the smartest mammal (besides humans),  but they are nearly impossible to keep as pets.

Explanation:

Every statement, except for statement A, is somehow related to animals positively influencing people's mental health.

Statement D is the most relevant, as it tells about autistic children and the effect horses' company has on them.

Statements B and C aren't directly related to the topic as they do not mention autistic children, but they do tell about the positive effect animals have on people's anxiety level.

Statement A, however, only gives us interesting information about dolphins.

"everyday

use" was written by alice walker. this is a story about two sisters, dee

and maggie wanting to have the handmade quilt. maggie wants to use the thing

for its purpose, while dee appreciates it for being “her heritage”.   the quilt represents family heritage. it was

believed that only dedication and years of hard work can represent a  quilt. 

mama decided to give

the quilts to her less fortunate daughter, maggie because she believed that dee

could not hold the true meaning of their family heritage and   that she would not use the quilts for their

purpose. however, dee believed that maggie can’t appreciate the quilts just as

how she sees them, and she thought that the quilt will be put to “everyday use”

by maggie and within 5 years or so, the quilt will turn into a rag. in the story, dee strongly believed that maggie do not deserve the quilts.
