A guide dog can be an invaluable companion to a blind person, increasing his or her self-confidence and independence. But before a guide dog can perform this important service, it must first undergo rigorous training.

Guide dogs are typically Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Golden Retrievers—breeds known for their good nature, intellect, compliance, and hardiness. While they are still young, puppies of these breeds are assessed for their potential to become guide dogs. Some traits that trainers look for in puppies include a high intelligence, memorization skills, and a readiness to be taught. A dog with an uneven temperament or unpredictable personality will not be selected for training as a guide dog.

After a puppy has been selected to become a guide dog, it will go to live with a trainer where it will stay for about a year. There it will learn to walk in a straight line, and to stop at curbs and other obstacles. It will learn to obey its owner's commands, but also to refuse to obey when it knows that this is best. It will learn to wait for its owner's permission to relieve itself. It will learn to obey its owner's commands even when confronted by bad weather, loud noises like sirens, and temptations like cats or delicious steaks. Positive behavior is rewarded with affection and praise. Negative behavior is discouraged using body language, a stern voice, and by withholding praise. After a dog is full-grown, its trainer brings it to the school for final assessment by qualified trainers.

If a trainer's dog does not pass this assessment, oftentimes it will remain with the trainer's family as a pet. If the dog passes this assessment, however, there is an inevitable sad parting, as the bond that has grown between trainer and dog is severed. This unfortunate aspect of the training process is understood to be part of the job by guide dog trainers.

Alejandro is writing an argumentative essay about corporate advertising in public schools. Which evidence best supports
Alejandro's claim that corporate advertising in public schools would be an unfair practice?
OA. A study conducted by a mass communication journal shows that children lack the experience and knowledge
to evaluate the purpose of the persuasive advertising appeals, making students particularly vulnerable targets.
B. Students are more likely to buy and use products and services from the advertisement that is most appealing
to them; if they are exposed to these at their school, they will not buy anything they see outside the school.
OC. Statistics show that children aged 13-19 view advertisements more than any other age group, which means
that their purchasing power will increase if they are exposed to more advertisements while attending school.
OD. Most school-aged children are unable to buy the products that would be advertised in their schools; therefore,
using such ads would distract students from their school work by shifting their focus to consumer products.
