** Model Answers with Grammar Explanation: 

Let's fill in the blanks with the correct options and provide explanations for each choice:

1- (b) popular: شائع / مشهور / محبوب Adj.  ✅

- "Popular" is the appropriate word here, indicating that dogs are well-liked and widely regarded as man's best friends.

- This refers to how commonly dogs are considered "man's best friend.

- We need an adjective describing how widely dogs are recognized as good companions. "Boring," "danger," and "laziness" wouldn't make sense in this context.

2- (d) domesticated : المستأنسة / أليف ✅

- "Domesticated" means to be tamed or adapted for living with humans. In the context of the sentence, it fits well to describe the process by which dogs became companions to humans.

- This refers to the process of breeding and taming animals to live with humans.

- Domestication is the act of making a wild animal a house pet. "Encounter" suggests a chance meeting, "ridicule" means to mock, and "safe" doesn't fit the context.

3- (b) flourish : تزدهر ✅

- "Flourish" means to thrive or prosper تزدهر أو تزدهر. In this context, it indicates that dogs can thrive on a carbohydrate-rich diet due to their long-standing relationship with humans.

- This means to thrive or prosper. Dogs can digest carbohydrates unlike other wild canines.

- Flourish indicates success due to the change in diet. "Master" doesn't make sense here, "worried" isn't relevant, and "prejudice" means a preconceived opinion.

4- (a) aiding : مساعدة Noun ✅

* طبعا لدينا اسم قبل وبعد حرف العطف

- "Aiding" means assisting or helping. It accurately describes how dogs are assisting people with disabilities and participating in therapy sessions.

- This means helping or assisting. Therapy dogs provide support to people with disabilities.

- Aiding directly relates to the assistance therapy dogs provide. "Mercurial" means unpredictable, "tremendous" is unnecessary, and "carnivore" refers to meat-eating animals (the opposite of what we're looking for).

5- ( c) improved : تحسين  ✅
- "Improved" fits well in the context, indicating that the energy levels of patients increased as a result of dog therapy.

- This refers to the increase in energy levels after therapy.

- Improved directly describes the positive change in energy levels. "Jostle" means to bump someone, "kind" doesn't show the change, and "neighborly" suggests friendliness with neighbors.

(على الرغم من أنه ليس من المستغرب أن تحظى الكلاب بشعبية باعتبارها أفضل أصدقاء للإنسان، إلا أنه لا يُعرف سوى القليل عن أصول هذه الصداقة. ويُفترض أن الكلاب كانت من أوائل الحيوانات التي تم تدجينها من قبل البشر. أحد التأثيرات الملحوظة لهذه العلاقة الطويلة مع البشر هو أنه على عكس أنواع الكلاب الأخرى، يمكن للكلاب أن تزدهر على نظام غذائي غني بالكربوهيدرات. تاريخيًا، كانت الكلاب تساعدنا بعدة طرق، لكنها في الآونة الأخيرة تساعد أيضًا الأشخاص ذوي الإعاقة وتساعد في العلاج. وقد أظهر المرضى الذين تلقوا علاج الكلاب انخفاضًا في عددهم التوتر وزيادة السعادة وتحسين مستويات الطاقة.)
