Find the statement that must be true according to the given information.
3.
Erin is twelve years old. For three years, she has been asking her parents for a dog. Her parents have told her that they believe a dog would not be happy in an apartment, but they have given her permission to have a bird. Erin has not yet decided what kind of bird she would like to have.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Since Erin's parents think a dog would not be happy in an apartment, we can reasonably conclude that the family lives in an apartment. We do not know if Erin's parents dislike dogs (choice a) or if Erin dislikes birds (choice b).There is no support for choice d.

Option C is the right Answer since there is no evidence to show that Erin doesn't like bird though he had not chosen the bird, also it is not clear whether the parent don't like a dog because they just said a dog would not be happy.

I think A would not be right as given, it's mentioned dog may not be happy in the apartment (it's not like they hate it but it will not be happy).

Option A can also be correct. Her parents belief might just be an excuse to not own animals (After all many people in apartments own dogs).

I agree with option C because the parents had to put into consideration the apartment they live in.
