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. 

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:

"owl":

While Ryan was camping, he saw a owl flying around his tent at night. An owl is something that you might see flying around at night, so this sentence makes sense. 

Before baseball practice, Max made sure he had his glove and his owl in his bag. An owl is an animal, and not something you'd need in your bag for baseball practice. "Owl" is not the correct answer. 

"ball":

While Ryan was camping, he saw a ball flying around his tent at night. A ball is not something that you would see flying around a tent at night. 

Before baseball practice, Max made sure he had his glove and his ball in his bag. A ball is something that you would put in your baseball bag, but because "ball" didn't make sense in the first sentence, this is not the correct answer. 

"bird":

While Ryan was camping, he saw a bird flying around his tent at night. A bird is something that you might see flying around at night, so this sentence makes sense. 

Before baseball practice, Max made sure he had his glove and his bird in his bag. A bird is an animal, and not something you'd need in your bag for baseball practice. "Bird" is not the correct answer. 

"bat":

While Ryan was camping, he saw a bat flying around his tent at night. An bat is something that you might see flying around at night, so this sentence makes sense. 

Before baseball practice, Max made sure he had his glove and his bat in his bag. A bat is something that you would put in your baseball bag, so this sentence makes sense. 

"Bat" is the correct answer.
