You would hardly ever see a cat walking outside of the house with its master. ----------- would you see a teenager in public with his or her parents very often.

  1. so

  2. and

  3. both

  4. neither
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer

Just as you would hardly see a cat walking with its master, so you would hardly see a teenager with their parents. The word 'so' in the first clause sets up this comparison, making option A correct. Options B 'and', C 'both', and D 'neither' don't correctly establish this correlative relationship.
