Question

1 part a: which statement identifies the central idea of the text?
a. chimpanzees and human children have the same emotional intelligence, and are equally as likely to help those in need.
b. children are more likely to help others selflessly, as they feel rewarded by the positive expressions they see.
c. humans and chimpanzees help others, seemingly selflessly, as they don’t realize that they’re not going to get a reward.
d. chimpanzees and children are extremely likely to help someone else, even if they don’t receive anything in return.

Explanation:

To determine the central - idea, we need to analyze the overall theme of the text. Option A is incorrect as it over - states the similarity in emotional intelligence. Option B focuses only on children. Option C is not well - supported as the text may not imply lack of awareness of no reward. Option D best captures the idea that both chimpanzees and children are likely to help selflessly.

Answer:

D. Chimpanzees and children are extremely likely to help someone else, even if they don't receive anything in return.
