In the story, pet owners are too scared of the crocodile to bring their sick pets to Dr. Dolittle. When SweetT read this, he made the inference that Dr. Dolittle was losing money because of the crocodile. What background knowledge BEST supports Sweett's inference?

The previous knowledge of when he was treating humans but kept losing money because of the pets he kept in his house.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the book, the reader learns that the Doctor was first a human physician. He, however, kept a lot of pets which scared his human patients. They soon became so afraid that they stopped coming to his house to seek medical treatment. This made him begin losing so much money that his sister even complained about it.

This background history would help Sweet T infer that Dr. Dolittle was losing money because of the crocodile that scared pet owners away.

idk heyy

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
