Question

5 how does paragraph 8 support the idea that animals often use their dominant side to do difficult jobs? a by explaining that scientists had cats remove tuna from containers many times b by explaining that one way to test cats is to have them remove tuna from containers c by explaining that male and female cats remove tuna from containers in unusual ways d by explaining that most cats showed a paw preference when removing tuna from containers

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option in the context of supporting the idea that animals use their dominant side for difficult jobs. Option D states that most cats showed a paw preference when removing tuna from containers. This shows a consistent (dominant) paw usage for the task of removing tuna (a difficult job for cats), directly supporting the idea. Option A talks about scientists' actions, not the animals' dominant side. Option B is about a testing method, not evidence. Option C focuses on male and female differences, not dominant side usage for difficult jobs. So D provides the relevant evidence.

Answer:

D. by explaining that most cats showed a paw preference when removing tuna from containers
