headed "Tameness
Test." One strategy for this question would be to
consider each answer choice one at a time, asking the
question:
Is this idea in the section headed "Tameness Test"?
What text in the section presents this idea?
For example, Answer A says: Wolves have narrower
snouts and jaws than dogs do. Carefully reading the text,
you will find no mention comparing the snouts and jaws of
wolves and dogs. This idea does not appear in the passage.You might have even inferred this idea would not be included
in a section titled, "Tameness Test."
The snout and jaw of a wolf and dog is a physical description,
not part of being tame.
