• A. Installing the dog run in the backyard.
• B. Enrolling the dog in obedience classes.
• C. The physical exam confirming the dog's health.
• D. The dog's next obedience class.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the story describes the sequence of events after adopting the dog. After bringing Robin home, the sequence includes confirming her health with a physical exam, buying supplies, installing a dog run, and then taking her to the vet. Enrolling her in obedience classes is mentioned to start the following week, making it the next logical step. Therefore, the detail about the dog's next obedience class is not out of sequence. Choices A, B, and C are all in the correct sequence according to the events described in the story.

3. First-hand accounts of an event, subject matter, time period, or an individual are referred to as what type of source?

• A. Primary sources
• B. Secondary sources
• C. Direct sources

Rationale: First-hand accounts, like the speech by Charles Dickens, are considered primary sources as they provide direct evidence or original data from the event or time period. Primary sources offer firsthand information, such as diaries, speeches, letters, autobiographies, or original research reports. Secondary sources interpret and analyze primary sources, making them one step removed from the original event or period. Direct and indirect sources are not commonly used terms in the context of primary and secondary sources.
