Practice Reading: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #37687 Anxious Dog
Instructions ›
Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
It’s well established that sudden loud noises, such as fireworks or thunderstorms, commonly trigger a dog’s anxiety, a new study finds even common noises, such as a vacuum or microwave, can be a trigger. The research found that high-frequency, intermittent noises such as the battery warning of a smoke detector are more likely to cause a dog anxiety, rather than low-frequency, continuous noise. Because dogs have a wider range of hearing, some noises could also be potentially painful to a dog’s ears, such as very loud or high-frequency sounds. We can change batteries more frequently in smoke detectors or remove a dog from a room where loud noises might occur.

Explanation: This option is correct as the text states that high-frequency, intermittent noises, such as the battery warning of a smoke detector, are more likely to cause anxiety in dogs. This aligns with the study's findings that certain types of noises can trigger unease in dogs.

Option 1: "make dogs happier"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text discusses how certain noises trigger anxiety in dogs, not happiness. The main idea of the text focuses on the negative impact of noises on dogs, particularly high-frequency and intermittent sounds.

Option 3: "with low-frequency and continuousness make dogs more anxious"

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text indicates that low-frequency, continuous noises are less likely to cause anxiety compared to high-frequency, intermittent noises. Therefore, this statement contradicts the information presented in the text.

Option 4: "will not be heard by dogs"

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text does not suggest that any noises will not be heard by dogs. In fact, it mentions that dogs have a wider range of hearing, implying they can hear various sounds, including those that may be painful.
