A student is writing an argumentative essay about adopting shelter animals instead of buying pets. Which detail would not be relevant to the argument?

Question

1. Adopting shelter pets help save lives
2. Cats are more popular pets than dogs
3. Many dogs and cats need homes
4. Animals from pet stores are often unhealthy

Answer 1

2. Cats are more popular pets than dogs

While this detail may be interesting, it is not relevant to the argument of adopting shelter animals instead of buying pets. The focus of the essay is on the benefits and importance of adopting animals from shelters, not on comparing the popularity of cats and dogs as pets.
