It's just started to sink in that Monday's a holiday. Would anyone be interested in checking out the Davis MegaMaze?

And now a public service.

PSAT READING COMPREHENSION

Please review the following anecdote:

"Embarrassing Dog Event #314

For once it wasn't my dog! Toby loves pugs, because for some reason pugs freak out whenever they catch sight of him. This gives him a chance to look superior and bored, and wayyyy too smug for somebody who becomes a frothing vampire-face if a huskie dares to step onto his sidewalk.

So much to his delight, a pair of pugs have moved in up the street. And they *loathe* Toby, but because they have those squashed-in little faces they can't really bark, they just snort louder and louder. *Shkrarrf!* *Kshrort!!* It's so sad. And the last time they all encountered each other, one pug got SO upset he just hopped on the other pug and started, um, asserting dominance in a pelvic way, if you know what I mean and I think you do. And there was much sidewalk commotion. And Toby looked SO smug about being able to inspire this level of frustration.



Based on the anecdote above, what is the correct interpretation?

A) Sex and violence are closely linked;
B) The author means this as a political fable, with "Toby" representing Osama bin Laden and the pugs representing George Bush and Saddam Hussein;
C) Life is much simpler when you own a cat.
