How many dogs and cats does the interviewee have?

• A. Three dogs and five cats
• B. Two dogs and two cats
• C. One dog and three cats
• D. Four dogs and six cats

Answer: (A)

The question tests your ability to pull out a specific fact that’s stated in the interview. The interviewee’s pet details are described as three dogs and five cats. That exact combination—the three dogs and five cats—matches the information given, so it’s the correct choice. It also sums to eight pets, which aligns with the total described in the source.

The other counts would not fit because they don’t match the numbers actually stated in the interview. For example, two dogs and two cats would describe a different, smaller total; one dog and three cats would give a different distribution; four dogs and six cats would imply a different total as well.
