<p>The part of the passage says…</p>

<p>‘If an owner (knows, to) name just a few examples, which meow means the cat is hungry, which means the cat wants to be petted, and which means the cat wants to have a little “conversation,” the bone between the cat and owner will grow deeper.’</p>

<p>A. NO CHANGE
B. knows, to,
C. knows to,
D. knows to</p>

<p>I thought that it would be answer D, but on the answer sheet, the answer is A
If the answer is A, the main sentence would be ‘If an owner (knows,) the bone between the cat and owner will grow deeper.’
If the answer is D, the main sentence would be ‘If an owner (knows to) name just a few examples, the bone between the cat and owner will grow deeper.’</p>

<p>Is the answer A is more appropriate than D?</p>

<p>The answer is knows, to
The sentence If an owner knwos to name just a few examples, which meow means the cat is hungry doesn’t make any sense.
The passage is saying If an owner knows which meow means the cat is hungry…
The “to name just a few examples” is optional</p>
