Question

while researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
in 2018 researchers adwait deshpande, shneejata gupta, and arindam sinha were observing wild macaques in indias bandipur national park.
they saw macaques calling out to and gesturing at humans who were eating or carrying food.
they designed a study to find out if the macaques were intentionally communicating to try to persuade the humans to share their food.
in the study trials, macaques frequently called out to and gestured at humans holding food.
in the study trials, macaques called out to and gestured at empty - handed humans less frequently.
the student wants to present the studys results. which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
choose 1 answer:
macaques in the study called out to and gestured more frequently at humans holding food than at empty - handed humans.
in 2018, researchers who had observed macaques in indias bandipur national park calling out to and gesturing at humans designed a study.
the researchers hoped to find out if the macaques were intentionally communicating to try to persuade humans to share their food.
the researchers studied how macaques behaved around both humans holding food and empty - handed humans.

Explanation:

The student's goal is to present the study's results. Option A directly compares the frequency of macaques' calls and gestures at humans with food vs. empty - handed humans, which is a result of the study. Option B is about the researchers' action of designing the study (not a result). Option C is about the researchers' hope (not a result). Option D is about what the researchers studied (not a result).

Answer:

A. Macaques in the study called out to and gestured more frequently at humans holding food than at empty - handed humans.
