Answer

To answer this question correctly, we need to select one word that makes sense in both sentences. Let's look at our answer choices and plug them into the sentences:

"plane":

Instead of driving, we took the plane to New York City. This does make sense, but let's try "plane" in the next sentence.

When you have a puppy, you have to plane the puppy to listen. This does not make sense. A plane is something that you fly in the air, which does not fit into this sentence.

"boat":

Instead of driving, we took the boat to New York City. This does make sense, depending on where you are coming from, you could take a boat to New York City, but let's try "boat" in the next sentence.

When you have a puppy, you have to boat the puppy to listen. This does not make sense. A boat is something you ride in on the water, which does not fit into this sentence.

"ask":

Instead of driving, we took the ask to New York City. This does not make sense because "ask" is not something that you travel in.

When you have a puppy, you have to ask the puppy to listen. This does make sense, but since "ask" doesn't fit for the first sentence, this can't be the correct answer.

"train":

Instead of driving, we took the train to New York City.

When you have a puppy, you have to train the puppy to listen.

"Train" is a word with multiple meanings. A train is something that you can use to travel, and it's also something you do when you are teaching someone, or something, a new skill. "Train" is the correct answer.
