Question 980 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B
Read the excerpt titled "Dogs vs Cats” by Sam Brown.Canines are vastly superior to their feline counterparts. Dogs have instincts ingrained in them to protect their owners. Unlike cats, canines become attached to their owners and show them affection. Researchers found that felines have no attachments to their owners and are inherently independent creatures. Furthermore, cats only show affection to their owners when they are hoping to gain something from it. For example, a cat will rub against its owner not to express loving feelings, but rather, to mark its territory.

Explanation
The clearest sign of the author’s bias is the direct judgment that dogs are “vastly superior” to cats. This is an opinion that favors dogs, rather than a neutral description. The other choices make claims or give an example, but choice A states the author’s preference most plainly.
