A student is writing an article for class about wolves. The student wants to revise the draft to include a conclusion that uses an appropriate transition. Read the draft of the article and answer the question that follows.
Wolves are members of the dog family. They are very different from dogs because they are wild and cannot be kept as pets, but they are the same in many ways too. Just as dogs tend to be very protective of their owners, wolves will stand up for the other members of their pack.
Wolves communicate using different types of howls. While they may sound odd to us, other wolves can understand these howls and what they mean. There are wolves as far north as the Arctic Circle, but they are only found there when they are migrating. They do not live so far north for the entire year.
As the largest members of the dog family, wolves can reach a length of over six feet and a weight of over one hundred pounds. However, wolves are not as fast as you might think. Most can only run at a speed of forty miles per hour.
