10 points. can someone plz me? !

[here's the paragraph]

the pet food industry

you have just adopted a pet, and you're at a pet supply store. you are overwhelmed by the never-ending sea of colorful pet food packages. some bags clean that they're organic or natural. but what does that mean? and then there are the stacks of canned food, boasting loudly of their superior concerts. what's the difference among these foods? does it matter what you feed a dog or cat? yes, it does matter. in the text on the package does not always tell the whole story.

If you are just looking at these last sentences, it states, "Yes, it does matter."  The fourth answer has nothing to do with the paragraph or these sentences.  While the author may appreciate the range of nutritional options, he does not present information in this paragraph to indicate that, so the third answer is not correct.  That leaves the first and second answer.  When you tie these last sentences with the rest of the paragraph, it doesn't say that the owners are indifferent about providing appropriate nutrition; it just says that they can be overwhelmed by all of the choices, so the second answer would be the best answer here.  The author feels that owners should educate themselves about pet nutrition and the products that are offered.

read this excerpt from “incidents in the life of a slave girl.”

i went about my evening work with trembling steps. mr. flint twice called from his chamber door to inquire why the house was not locked up. i replied that i had not done my work. "you have had time enough to do it," said he. "take care how you answer me! "

i shut all the windows, locked all the doors, and went up to the third story, to wait till midnight. how long those hours seemed, and how fervently i prayed that god would not forsake me in this hour of utmost need! i was about to risk everything on the throw of a die; and if i failed, o what would become of me and my poor children? they would be made to suffer for my fault.

at half past twelve i stole softly down stairs. i stopped on the second floor, thinking i heard a noise. i felt my way down into the parlor, and looked out of the window. the night was so intensely dark that i could see nothing. i raised the window very softly and jumped out. large drops of rain were falling, and the darkness bewildered me. i dropped on my knees, and breathed a short prayer to god for guidance and protection. i groped my way to the road, and rushed towards the town with almost lightning speed.
