Summary
The author concludes that most children shouldn’t have pets until they’re at least 6 years old. Why?
Because most children under 6 are egocentric and selfish in their attitudes toward animals.
In addition, most children under 6 don’t understand that animals are independent creatures with their own feelings and needs.
Missing Connection
The conclusion brings up a new concept — shouldn’t have pets. The premises don’t say anything about who shouldn’t have pets. So, at a minimum, the correct answer needs to tell us about people who shouldn’t have pets.
To go further, we can anticipate a more specific connection between the premises and the conclusion. Any answer that connects a feature we know about most children under 6 to “should not have pets” can be correct:
If one is egocentric and selfish in attitudes toward animals, then one shouldn’t have a pet.
or
If one doesn’t understand that animals are independent creatures with their own feelings and needs, then one shouldn’t have a pet.
