Which detail from the excerpt best supports the inference that food was more consistently available in larger towns? O Pig farmers keep their fitches of bacon back in storage until they can get a better price for them later in the winter. O Such tactics are made even more profitable by the unhappy fact that harvests can fail, causing local and sometimes national--food shortages. O Large towns are less vulnerable, being part of an international market that sees preserved foods traded long-distance, but much of the countryside is dependent on fresh food. O After a poor harvest, prices for all commodities--not just grain-rise dramatically and the poor are unable to make ends meet.​

Monty is writing an argumentative text about not having exotic animals as pets. He needs help clarifying his claim in the introductory paragraph. Read an excerpt and notice his claim in bold.

For years, human beings have been fascinated by wild animals. We visit zoos to attain some type of intimacy with these animals in their new homes. We sit through shows watching them perform tricks and depending on the animal, we get to pet them. All these experiences are educational for many. However, some people’s fascination with these animals has grown to the point that they desire to have these animals as pets. Exotic animals are becoming popular, and I wonder if they make good pets.

Exotic animals are meant to live in their natural habitats. If they are not in their natural homes, then they should be in controlled settings such as zoos. The average person is not equipped to care for them in a typical home. Experts estimate that approximately 20,000 exotic wild cats are living as pets in the United States. Sadly, that is almost more than the number of tigers that exist in their natural environment. In states such as Texas, people must have a license to own wild animals such as tigers, however, the state does not have regulations to guarantee the protection of those animals once they have been bought.

Caring for exotic pets is extremely costly and can become dangerous. Annual food costs for one tiger cub can cost up to $6,000. These cubs can even weigh up to 500 pounds in a just a few short months and become strong enough to overpower the average adult. These animals require plenty of space to roam and feel comfortable. Luckily, when pet owners are worried about not doing a good job raising these animals, there are pet sanctuaries that are willing to take the animals and care for them.

Which statement below best serves as a claim to replace Monty’s current claim?

A.
Exotic pets are not ideal for everyone.
B.
The popularity of exotic pets is becoming alarming and must stop.
C.
Wild animals are becoming increasingly popular.
D.
Exotic animals are more difficult and expensive to care for and as such should not be pets.
