Question

Which statement best represents the

controlling idea of the paragraph?
What often-requested gift are parents least likely to buy for their
children? Some might guess cell phones or video games, but the
answer is a family pet. In fact, PetPartners.org says that three out of
five children in the last year asked for a pet to call their own. While
many parents feel that pet ownership is a hassle, they need to realize
that children who care for pets eam better grades in school and
develop personal responsibility much faster than kids who don't have
pets.
A. Children hope for a pet more than they hope to own a cell phone or
play a video game
B. Most children request a cat or a dog as a birthday or holiday gift.
C. Kids should be given pets in order to learn positive life skills and
perform well in school
D. Parents do not want to give kids a family pet because it is too
much work
