Answer 1

B. To show how much Ginny influenced her owner

Answer 2

Answer:

B. To show how much Ginny influenced her owner

Explanation:

Ginny pushed her owner to adopt more than 20 cats - This is the essential part of the sentence. It would be meaningful without the remaining part.

Most of whom had permanent injuries or special needs - This is a non-essential element because it does not contain important information to the meaning of the sentence. It describes the health status of the 20 cats.
