IV. Use the following paragraph to complete #22—#25 below.
Anyone who owns a Chihuahua, pug, dachshund, or any other kind of little dog knows that these pets have plenty of personality. In fact, more often than not, boldness is one of their foremost personality traits. When meeting up with a much bigger dog, for example, a small dog typically will not back down. On the contrary, it will hold its ground and often deliver a salvo of threatening barks or some other flagrant challenge.

After all, even though his or her pet may think of itself as a big dog, it does not stand much of a chance if the situation goes much further.
In line 2, foremost means
