The two statements from Passage 1 that support the claim that robot pets make good companions are:
- “I know you’re not real,” she whispered. “But somehow, I don’t know, I love you.” (paragraph 1)
- “Paro is a robot but people feel that Paro is a living animal or baby.” (paragraph 3)
These statements illustrate the emotional connection that individuals can develop with robot pets, highlighting their capacity to serve as companions.
