Short Passage

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

Jane Goodall is a primatologist known for her work with chimpanzees.
She observed that chimpanzees use tools, such as sticks, to gather food.
Before her discovery, tool use was thought to be unique to humans.
She began her research in Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania.
Goodall spent years living in close proximity to chimpanzee communities.
Her research changed how scientists understand both animals and humans.

Question

The student wants to emphasize why Jane Goodall’s research was groundbreaking. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

B) She observed that chimpanzees use tools, a behavior once thought to be unique to humans.

C) She began her research in Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania.

D) Goodall spent years living near chimpanzee communities.

Answer

B) She observed that chimpanzees use tools, a behavior once thought to be unique to humans.

Tip

Choice B is the best answer. Jane Goodall’s discovery that chimpanzees use tools proved that tool use is not unique to humans. This finding reshaped scientific understanding of animal intelligence and the similarities between humans and primates.
