In paragraph 2, the author makes the claim that
adopting a dog from a shelter helps solve the problem of
pet overpopulation in the United States. Which piece of

the claim?
Every year, between three and four

By adopting a shelter dog, you can help
solve the overpopulation problem and
open up a spot for another homeless
canine.
