Question
Which of the following best describes the author’s point of view?
There is usually an animal shelter in every town, and they are great places to volunteer. With about six million animals going into animal shelters each year, there are plenty that need our help. Adopting an animal is cheaper than buying one from a breeder, and you could be helping an animal in need. Some have been abused. Some were born in the wild. Some had owners who could not keep them. No matter what, adopting animals from shelters is a good idea.

Think about the foods you eat every day. How many of them are from around the world? A lot of pollution is made getting those foods to us. And take a look at the nutrition facts. How many of the foods that you eat are healthy? What we all should do is have our own vegetable gardens. These can be made in backyards or in community gardens. This way, we would not only know where our food comes from, but we would be eating more healthy food. Everyone should do this as soon as possible.
