Explanation:

Question 1

To determine why humans are kind according to experts, we analyze the options:

• "Humans are social animals" aligns with sociological and psychological theories about human behavior, where social interaction and cooperation (including kindness) are linked to being social animals.
• "Acts of kindness are random" is incorrect as experts study kindness as a patterned behavior, not random.
• "Kindness is older than religion" is about the origin of kindness relative to religion, not a direct reason for human kindness. So the correct option is the first one.

To find how the bonobos' photo supports the text, we analyze:

• "It shows another species being kind" is correct if the text is about kindness in species; bonobos (a species) being kind would support a text about kindness (e.g., in humans and other species).
• "It shows a contrast to humans being kind" is wrong as a contrast would not support a text (likely about kindness in species), and bonobos are primates related to humans, so contrast is not the purpose.
• "It shows the similarities between primates" is too broad; the focus is on kindness, not general primate similarities. So the first option is correct.

To find the synonym context clue for "benevolence", we know:

• "Benevolence" means kindness. So "kindness" is a synonym.
• "Hedonism" is about seeking pleasure, not related.
• "Value" is a general term, not a synonym for benevolence. So the correct option is "kindness".

Answer:

A. Humans are social animals.
