JOCKEY: Horses are the most noble of all animals. They are both loyal
and brave. I knew of a farm horse which died of a broken heart shortly after
its owner died.
VETERINARIAN: YOu're wrong. Dogs can be just as loyal and brave. I had a dog
who would wait every day on the front steps for me to come home, and if I did
not arrive until midnight, he would still be there.
All of the following are true of the claims of the jockey and the veterinarian
EXCEPT:
А) both claims assume that loyalty and bravery are characteristics which are
desirable in animals.
В) both claims assume that the two most loyal animals are the horse and the dog.
С) both claims assume that human qualities can be attributed to animals.
D) both claims are supported by only a single example of animal behavior.
Е) neither claim is supported by evidence other than the opinions and
observations of the speakers.
