Question

Wolves

A wolf is a wild dog. They do not live in houses like a dog does, but they look alike.

Body

Like a dog, a wolf walks on four legs and has a lot of fur. The fur keeps the wolves warm. Some wolves live in cold weather and need a lot of fur. The Arctic is a very cold place and many wolves live there.

Food

A wolf does not eat the same food as a dog. A wolf eats other animals. One animal that a wolf eats is called a deer. A wolf can run very fast, so it is able to catch a deer.

Family

A wolf does not live alone. Wolves live in groups called packs. A pack is like a family. There can be as many as 20 wolves in a pack.

How are dogs like wolves?

Answer

We are told in the opening of the text that wolves and dogs look alike. Then, in the "Body" paragraph we are told that dogs and wolves have four legs and a lot of fur. This means that both answer choices are correct.
