Answer 1

The answer would be D because it is comparing cats and dogs in the shelter. I assume you made a typo saying neiborhood instead of shelter. Hope this helps you

Answer 2

Answer: A. the number of dogs in the shelter compared to the number of cats in the shelter

Explanation:

Hi, the phrase that describes a ratio relationship between the two quantities (dogs and cats) is A.

B. is incorrect because it compares the same quantities twice (cats)

C. is incorrect, because it compares two quantities but one quantity is not given in the statement ( rabbits).

D. is incorrect, because it compares the quantities outside the shelter.
