    Correct Answer
    A. Say
    Explanation
    Dogs generally understand the way we say things and not the words themselves. They can recognize the intonation in our voice and get excited, even if we say a different word with the same intonation. However, there are some dogs that can understand separate words and can be trained to recognize a lot of different words. This is demonstrated by a dog in Germany that can identify over 200 different toys when the owner says their names. This example shows that dogs are capable of giving meaning to language.
