Question

ad's in the kitchen next to a large, rectangular thing with a blanket over it. A rustling noise is coming from underneath the blanket.
Dad: Come here everyone. I have a surprise!
Everyone comes into the kitchen.
Mom: What's under the blanket? I hear rustling, so I don't think it's fish.
Dad: No, it's not fish. Fish have fins and gills; this animal has skin and lungs. Does anyone else want to guess?
Haley: Hmm, it's not fish, so maybe it's frogs?
Dad: No, frogs are amphibians. Amphibians have moist skin; this animal does not.
Rex: Parrots don't have moist skin, so maybe it's a parrot?
Dad: No, parrots are birds. Birds have beaks and feathers; this animal doesn't have a beak or feathers.
Mom: Iguanas aren't fish, amphibians, or birds, so is it iguanas?
Dad: No, iguanas are reptiles. Reptiles have scales and are cold-blooded; this animal has fur and is warm-blooded.
Emma: It must be a mammal! Is it a ferret?
Dad uncovers the cage.
Dad: It's not one ferret-it's two!

Which part of the story does the picture illustrate?
a

b

c
before the story begins, when Dad sets up the cage
d
