Question

Imprint training offers a singular opportunity to permanently mold a horse's personality. For a short time, the newborn foal is programmed to imprint stimuli. There is no time a horse will learn faster. Imprint training can help ease handling, enhance later training efforts, and reduce injuries. A variety of veterinarian recommended procedures should be introduced on the day after the foal's birth, after the foal is on its feet. The right procedures at the right time yield dramatic results. Some people believe that early bonding between the foal and humans will produce a "pet" foal. This is nonsense. Imprint training, properly performed, will enhance a horse's relationship with humans. Ill mannered horses are the bane of the horse industry. If foals are imprint trained, this problem will be minimized. This type of horse training is now commonly used all over the world. Choose the BEST concluding statement that supports the argument presented. A) To me, poor horse manners indicate ownership by an inept horseman. B) Imprint training can help ease handling, enhance later training efforts and reduce injuries. C) Since imprint trained horses are more manageable, far fewer injuries occur to horses and people. D) Imprint training is effective and publicly promoted because it enhances the relationship between horse and humans.

Answer 1

Answer choice B is the best answer here. If you look at the context of the paragraph, it starts broadly with a discussion of what imprint training is before moving into something more specific about what it can do for the foal in general with training and with humans. With this in mind, B makes the most sense because it is summing up what we've read in the rest of the paragraph.

The other answer choices could work, but A is too personal and doesn't match the tone of the rest of the paragraph. C is very similar to B, however it doesn't match the tone of the rest of the paragraph much like A. D is another good choice, but it's too specific to work as a conclusion sentence for the paragraph.

Answer 2

D is the correct answer not b
