Q: Why is an exclamation mark (!) used in the title "Pets Carnival 2025 Especially for New Pet Owners!"?

(3) to highlight how exciting the carnival will be for new pet owners. The exclamation mark is used to convey excitement and enthusiasm, drawing attention to the event's appeal, especially for new pet owners. Option (3) best captures this purpose. Options (1) and (2) are not directly supported by the function of an exclamation mark here, and (4) relates to the content of caring for pets, not the purpose of the exclamation mark in the title.

Q: All participants of the talk will ____

(4) receive tips from the Director of Paw Pets Centre. The talk is titled 'How to Be a Responsible Pet Owner' and is given by Mr Tony Lau, 'Director of Pets Shelter'. The primary purpose of such a talk is to provide information or tips. The text states, 'Discover how to keep your pet healthy and happy!' which are tips. Options (1), (2), and (3) are incorrect: only the first 50 registrants get a magnet, the talk is on 20 October, and registration is for the talk, but the question asks what *all participants* will do.

(4) The free talk 'How to Be a Responsible Pet Owner' is on 20 October. Incorrect.

Q: Based on Text 2, which of the following statement is true?

(4) Puppies can be trained to ease themselves at the right spots.. Based on Text 2: (1) 'Puppies should be washed every one to two weeks.' So, not every day. False. (2) 'Brush your puppy's teeth at least two to three times a week.' So, not only once a week. False. (3) 'If their nails grow too long, use nail clippers to trim them...' It doesn't state they chew them off. False. (4) 'Puppies need to be taught where to go to relieve themselves at home. Use a training mat to help them know which spot to use.' This directly supports that they can be trained. True.

Q: The image in Text 1 and the contents in Text 2 both support the fact that puppies need to ____

(4) have fun and entertainment. Text 1 (the poster) promotes a 'Pets Carnival' with 'fun and interesting activities' and an 'Owner and Pet Look-alike Competition', all suggesting entertainment. Text 2 states, 'Puppies are full of energy. To prevent bad habits like chewing on shoes, keep them entertained with a variety of toys to play with regularly.' Both texts clearly emphasize the need for fun and entertainment for pets.
