Choice A

Choice A goes over a negative aspect about wild animals, while choice B talks about a slight positive aspect in that certain animals can be kept as pets. The two don't really fit together.

In other words, choice A is saying "don't get a wild animal as a pet" while choice B does the opposite (more or less).

While it is true that you can keep some animals as pets, it's not a good idea as choice A mentions. Also, there's the fact that the animal may attack you or people you know if the animal is provoked (even then wild animals can attack seemingly at random). Lastly, there's the fact that wild animals prefer living outside with lots of room to roam around. They don't like being caged up and need to have a specific habitat and diet. All of these facts lean toward having wild animals as pets is a bad idea. This is especially true for large animals in which you'll need more resources to take care of them. A zoo is better equipped to handle the animals.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

i'm not sure what the second paragraph is but a decree is an official order issued by legal authority. find the one that best fits this definition.
