Alijah Dickson · Answer 2

1. The writer should elaborate on how the interest was sparked.

2. The writer should talk about why studying this field is the best next step.

Explanation:

The writer stated in the passage that their family had a cat that was "a handful" but failed to elaborate how this sparked her interest. The writer thereby left out specific details about how the interest was sparked leaving it to the imagination of the reader.

The writer should also elaborate on how pursuing a study in veterinary science is the best option to reach her career goals. The writer aspires to be a veterinarian but the essay did not talk about how someone can become a veterinarian. The specific details about how to become a veterinarian is important before we can understand which is the best.
