Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions from 21 to 24. (1.0 point)
Scientists know that there were wolves on Earth about one million years ago. Dogs, on the other hand, have not been
on Earth nearly as long. The oldest dog remains, found in Germany, are about 14,000 years old. Scientists have
proven that dogs are descended from wolves. Though wolves and dogs share some of the same genes, they are not
exactly alike. In fact, there are as many differences as there are similarities between the two.
First, there are physical differences between the two. Wolves have longer legs, larger feet, and a broader skull than
dogs. They also walk differently from dogs. A wolf runs on its toes with its heels raised up from the ground. This is
more similar to a cat's walk than a dog's.
Second, there are mental differences between the two. Dogs have been domesticated. This means that dogs have
been brought under the control of humans in order to provide companionship. Wolves have not been domesticated.
They are wild animals. Having a dog as a pet is like having a juvenile wolf. A young wolf will turn into a mature
adult, while a young dog does not mature. A dog might seem smart by performing tricks for people. Wolves need to
be smart to survive in the wild. While it may not be impossible to have a wolf as a pet, scientists are of the opinion
that a wolf could never be domesticated in the same way as a dog.
It's important to keep in mind that the differences between the two are great, and each should be appreciated in its
own habitat or home.
