Kate Waterbee, is a typical thirteen-year-old. She is secretly angry with her parents
because she is not allowed to have pets. Kate believes that “allergies would have at least
evoked some sympathy. Unfortunately, her parents’ noses and eyes could handle a dog

time.” While pleased with their mellow daughter, Kate’s parents feared adopting a
needy, demanding pet.

A)almost seen.
B)tried to get.
