Pepper is the shaggiest dog in the obedience school class. Pretzel is a dachshund. If these statements are true, what can be determined about Pretzel?

  1. Pretzel is the shaggiest dog

  2. Pretzel is not the shaggiest dog

  3. Pretzel and Pepper are the same breed

  4. Pretzel is the fastest dog in class

The correct answer is: Pretzel is not the shaggiest dog

The statement that Pepper is the shaggiest dog in the obedience school class establishes a clear fact about Pepper's uniqueness in terms of shagginess among the dogs present. Since Pretzel is mentioned specifically as a dachshund and Pepper holds the title of the shaggiest dog, it logically follows that Pretzel cannot be the shaggiest dog. This conclusion is reinforced by the categorical assertion about Pepper. While Pretzel's breed identity as a dachshund is provided, the key aspect here is that Pepper's designation as the shaggiest dog means Pretzel's shagginess must be less significant, hence confirming that Pretzel is not the shaggiest dog in the class. Therefore, the answer that Pretzel is not the shaggiest dog accurately reflects the information given in the initial statements.
