Which excerpt best supports the conclusion that a dog would never leave its master for someone else?
september 23, 1870 warrensburg, missouri
despite serving for 24 years as a u.s. senator, george graham vest is best known for a case he took as a lawyer in rural missouri. vest represented a farmer whose dog, "old drum," had been shot by a neighbor who claimed "old drum" had been killing his sheep. vest's "eulogy of the dog" outlined the reasons why the farmer should be compensated for his loss.
gentlemen of the jury. the best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. his son or daughter whom he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. the money that a man has he may lose. it flies away from him perhaps when he needs it most. a man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. the people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. the one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is the dog. gentlemen of the jury, a man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. he will sleep on the cold ground when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he can be near his master's side. he will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. he guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince.
when all other friends desert, he remains. when riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. if fortune drives the master forth an outcast into the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies. and when the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws and his eyes sad but open, in alert watchfulness, faithful and true, even unto death.
a.) "the best friend a man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. his son or daughter whom he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful."
b.) "the money that a man has he may lose. it flies away from him perhaps when he needs it most."
c.) "and when . . death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid in the cold ground, . . there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, . . "
d.) "he guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince."

The correct answer is C. "And when . . . death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid in the cold ground, . . . there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, . . . "
Explanation:
This text presents the reasons provided by George Graham Vest to explain the value of a dog. In this, Vest explains friends and people that might seem to be loyal can change over circumstances, but dogs are always loyal. One of the ideas to support this is that once its master is death the dog would still be loyal to him, this is explained in "And when . . . death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid in the cold ground, . . . there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, . . . " which is one of the main ideas that help the reader conclude a dog would never leave its master.
Thus, it is option C the one that best supports this conclusion, also, other options only explain the disloyalty of people or do not explicitly show the close bond between a dog and its master.

In pursuing your scientific or engineering research you have undoubtedly encountered obstacles: an experiment or design that did not work as anticipated at first, a grant that fell through, a peer review that identified a problem in your methodology. But surmounting these obstacles can sometimes lead to greater understanding, a stronger design, and better results.
The same is true with instructional design. Many leaders in research-based instruction readily admit that some of their early attempts were not as successful as they had hoped, and many faced challenges that rattled their resolve. As in scientific research or engineering design, the best response to the inevitable stumble or obstacle is not to give up but to reflect on what you can do better, make adjustments, and persist.
“Be patient,” advises Alex Rudolph,1 a physics and astronomy professor at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. “Don’t expect everything to work the first time out. Realize that these things take time to learn and do well…. Be willing to try something and get better at it, because if you do it a few times you almost always get better.”
Just as many of your students need time, guidance, and encouragement to be successful with new ways of learning, you will need time, practice, and support to become more comfortable and competent with new ways of teaching, and even longer to become adept. Ed Prather,2 an astronomy professor at the University of Arizona, tells participants in his faculty development workshops that “while the first time out of the gate it might not be perfect, they’re making slow and steady progress toward a goal that is part of their profession.” Even instructors who have been using research-based approaches for several years continue to tweak their
