Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery Asvab / Paragraph Comprehension 10


Many people hesitate to adopt a retired racing greyhound  because they worry that it will be nervous  and will need a large space to run. This is a false  impression. Greyhounds have naturally sweet, mild  dispositions and are sprinters rather than distance  runners; they are sufficiently exercised with a few  laps around a fenced-in backyard every day. Greyhounds  do not make good watchdogs, but they are  very good with children, get along well with other  dogs (and usually cats as well), and are very affectionate  and loyal. 



One drawback of adopting a greyhound is that they

Are very old when they retire from racing.
Are not good watch dogs.
Need lots of room to run.
Are very competitive.

7. According to the passage, adopting a greyhound is a good idea for people who

Do not usually like dogs.
Do not have children.
Live in apartments.
Already have another dog or a cat.
