Question 2 of 5 You've probably seen news reports about the couple who fed their cat
a vegetarian diet. Although I believe in individual rights, this couple
took things too far. Cats are natural carnivores, which means they only
eat meat. By changing this necessary part of the cat's diet, the couple
caused serious health problems for the animal. Yes, it's true that meat-
based commercial cat food can be expensive, but responsible pet
owners must consider the costs before adopting a cat. Personal
preferences about food should stay personal and not be inflicted on
animals.
How does the author respond to the counterclaim?
O A. By showing how vegetarian diets can do serious harm to animals
B. By suggesting that those who cannot afford cat food not adopt a
pet
O C. By explaining that people have the right to choose whether or not
to eat meat
O D. By illustrating how the news has blown this story out of prophion

B. By suggesting that those who cannot afford cat food not adopt a pet.

Explanation: The author agrees that meat-based commercial cat food can be expensive but they continues to say that if you are going to own a pet, the costs in order to keep the pet happy and healthy should be considered.

2. what details would make the text more engaging is to see the guatemalan children's reaction to getting free jerseys.

3. the details that convey the author's attitude would be an opinion by the author, for example, if he said, "haley was a very nice girl " or, you can find the attitude by finding parts of haley's personality that he highlights. you can strengthen your tones by using more descriptive words, and simplify long sentences as much as you can.
