This preview compares everyday care for cats and dogs. It focuses on text structure: recognising how a writer arranges similarities and differences to explain a subject.
How to approach the question
Identify statements that apply to both animals, then statements that distinguish them. Ask whether the paragraph mainly compares, tells events in order, gives instructions or explains a problem and solution.
Review your reasoning
Find two pieces of evidence for the structure you chose. Do not select an answer merely because it describes one sentence; consider how the whole paragraph is organised.
Read the passage
Cats and dogs both benefit from predictable routines, but their daily activities can differ. Many dogs need regular walks outside, while indoor cats may exercise through climbing and play. Either animal needs food, water and veterinary care. Choosing a pet involves considering these shared needs alongside the differences in its care.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to decide which animal makes the better pet?
No. This preview asks about organisation, not your personal preference. Base the answer on how the writer presents the information.
