read this passage from the article:
\that dog is really happy.\ but wait—dogs are animals. do
they even feel emotions the way we do?

do indeed feel and express a variety of emotions.
which words from the passage help you understand the meaning
of the word canine?
a. dogs are animals
b. a variety of emotions
c. scientific research
d. the way we do

Explanation:

To determine the word that helps understand "canine", we analyze the context. The passage is about dogs (canine companions). Option A ("dogs are animals") relates to dogs, and "canine" refers to dogs (canine species). Other options (B: emotions, C: scientific research, D: our way) don't relate to the meaning of "canine" (pertaining to dogs). So A helps as it connects to the subject (dogs) of "canine".

Answer:

A. dogs are animals
