Read this excerpt from "Are Dogs Dumb?" by Karen Hopkin.


And how come we thinks dogs are so smart? Sure a dog might be clever enough to fetch his leash when he wants to go out. But the same mutt might also bark at a vacuum cleaner and spend a whole hour chasing his own tail. Is Rover really any brighter than a hamster, a chicken, or a kid who's always eating Play-Doh? How can you measure an animal's brain power?


What is the author's purpose in this paragraph?

to explain what dogs can and cannot do

to entertain readers with a joke about humans eating Play-Doh

to give readers information about animal intelligence

to persuade readers that smaller animals aren't necessarily dumb

Read this excerpt from "Are Dogs Dumb?" by Karen Hopkin.


[Researchers] at the University of Toronto at Scarborough use treats to give dogs a Canine IQ test. The dog is presented with a tray with a blue block on it; underneath the block is a treat. The animal moves the block and gets the treat...then, the test gets tricky. The dog is presented with the same tray, but this time it has both a blue block and a yellow coffee can lid on it; the treat is now under the yellow lid. The test: how long does it take for the dog to learn that the treat is always under the new item on the tray? The smarter the dog, the quicker she'll find the treat.

Which detail best supports the inference that dogs are smart?

"The dog is presented with a tray with a blue block on it; underneath the block is a treat."

"...how long does it take for the dog to learn that the treat is always under the new item on the tray?"
