Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
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.
