supie:

That does not explain at all. Explain it how ` Topper changes from good to evil unexpectedly.`

supie:

You can also explain why the other ones are wrong too If you want

SelfishQueen:

bruh how is that a hard question like tf

umm:

Since no one described why the answer choice is A, here.. Reading the short story can give clues out context clues. `...we thought he would be the perfect family dog. And he was…half of the time, anyway. His Jekyll and Hyde personality made our lives completely unpredictable.` Topper changes from good to evil unexpectedly. Topper constantly begs the family for more food. Topper sleeps all day and stays away all night. Topper runs away whenever he gets the chance. From the description of what's in the story, it doesn't mention he's constantly begging, sleeping all day, or runs away. It's talking about how Topper changes his behaviour that's `unpredictable` as you can see in the textual evidence.
