Durian might be the smelliest fruit on the earth.

[v0031]

I'm an English teacher. Here is a question from the workbook. I don't think it's a good question. What do you think?

Durian might be the smelliest fruit on the earth. Many people don't like the smell. Dogs don't like it, either, as they have a very strong sense of smell. But Jubjib , the dog in this picture , feels fine around the fruit. Jubjib is a golden retriever from Thailand. He lives on a durian fruit farm with his owner. He is busy all year round taking care of the durian farm , even on rainy days. His owner said Jubjib wants to make sure that the durian fruit will be OK during heavy rain.
Every harvest, Jubjib spends his days helping his family harvest durian fruit, dressed in a hat and scarf. His owner shares photos of him happily doing his job online.
The photos have become quite popular. People say Jubjib is the cutest durian harvester dog ever. His famil even puts pictures of his face on their product packaging，according to Boredpanda.

( )1.Why does the owner dress Jubjib in a hat and scarf?
A. Because his owner wants to put his pictures online.
B. Because people think it's cute for Jubjib to dress in a hat and scarf.
C. Because his owner puts pictures of his face on their product packaging.
D. Because it is very hot in Thailand during every harvest.

From that excerpt above, the answer should be "not given", so you're right; it's a bad question. However, please tell us the name and the author of the book.

I would pick "B" since there is no "none of the above". However, dogs don't dress themselves.

If I wanted to know why he did that I would ask him.

I think the intended answer is A. I agree it's not a very good question--some people would choose B or C.

His owner shares photos of him happily doing his job online.

His owner shares photos online of him happily doing his job online.
The original sounds as if the dog works online. We can figure out what's meant of course, but it takes just a little bit longer.

I'd go for A too, but it's not a very good question.

You can put pictures of the dog online without dressing it in a hat and scarf.

I think any of the choices are possible. (I might have picked "none of the above" if that was an option.)

Yes, the answer is A. I agree it's not a great question.

You can put pictures of a dog online without dressing it in a hat and scarf.

Maybe the dog can't afford sunscreen.
