Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
Zebras are members of the horse family. However, these 'stripey horses' are not used for riding. Keen riders have occasionally attempted to try. Although zebras have at times let someone sit on their back, the rider soon
discovered that a zebra's neck is stiffer than a horse's, lacking the suppleness that enables riders to control the horse. The structure of a zebra's back also makes it less suitable for riding. It would undoubtedly be possible to breed
zebras that would ride well, but with the arrival of the internal combustion engine there has not been much incentive to do so.
What is the writer's conclusion about zebras?
Zebras are not as similar to horses as they initially appear. People have little motivation to develop a zebra that could be ridden. People have little motivation to develop a zebra that could be ridden. It is unlikely that people could develop a zebra that would be good to ride. Motorised vehicles are gradually reducing the numbers of zebras that are being bred.
