c
Getting a pet is a meaningful way to teach kids responsibility.
d
My favorite childhood memory is showing my goat at the state fair.

Answer 1

C. Getting a pet is a meaningful way to teach kids responsibility. It’s not A because that would be considered evidence (for the claim), it’s not B because that would also be evidence, and it’s not D. because that isn’t claiming, or proving anything. Hope this helps! :)
