    Pets do not need rules, boundaries and limitations when they live their lives with ours.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false because pets, like any other living beings, do need rules, boundaries, and limitations in order to live harmoniously with humans. Establishing rules and boundaries helps pets understand what is acceptable behavior and what is not. It also ensures their safety and the safety of others around them. Without rules and limitations, pets may engage in destructive or dangerous behavior, which can lead to harm or inconvenience. Therefore, it is important to provide pets with structure and guidelines to ensure a happy and healthy coexistence.

    There are a variety of different pets which include: (Select two)

    • Domesticated

    • Fantasy

    • Wild

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Domesticated
    A. Wild
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Domesticated" and "Wild" because these two options represent the different types of pets. Domesticated pets are those that have been tamed and bred for human companionship, such as dogs and cats. On the other hand, wild pets are those that are not domesticated and live in their natural habitats, such as snakes and birds. The option "Fantasy" does not fit in this context as it refers to imaginary creatures and not real pets.
