A) use an adjective to describe the behavior of most people in the passage
Pani-rosa [81]

Adjectives are words used to describe, show the characteristics of something.

You didn't show the excerpt that this question refers to, which makes it impossible for me to show you the adjective you need, but I'll show you how to find that adjective.

As stated above, an adjective is a word that shows the characteristics of something. Examples of adjectives are the words: ugly, beautiful, noisy, apprehensive, nervous, small, happy, indifferent, excited, silent, among others.

In this case, to answer your question you must:

Read the entire text.

Identify the way people, described in the text, behave.

Find the word that best represents this type of behavior.

In this case, we can conclude that the function of the adjective is to describe, and by trying to describe the behavior of the population, you will be able to find the adjective you need.

Pick one of the studies Rifkin mentions, and try to find out more. Is Rifkin’s description of the study accurate?
Nutka1998 [239]
Though much of big science has centered on breakthroughs in biotechnology, nanotechnology and more esoteric questions like the age of our universe, a quieter story has been unfolding behind the scenes in laboratories around the world -- one whose effect on human perception and our understanding of life is likely to be profound.

What these researchers are finding is that many of our fellow creatures are more like us than we had ever imagined. They feel pain, suffer and experience stress, affection, excitement and even love -- and these findings are changing how we view animals.

Strangely enough, some of the research sponsors are fast food purveyors, such as McDonald's, Burger King and KFC. Pressured by animal rights activists and by growing public support for the humane treatment of animals, these companies have financed research into, among other things, the emotional, mental and behavioral states of our fellow creatures.

Studies on pigs' social behavior funded by McDonald's at Purdue University, for example, have found that they crave affection and are easily depressed if isolated or denied playtime with each other. The lack of mental and physical stimuli can result in deterioration of health.

The European Union has taken such studies to heart and outlawed the use of isolating pig stalls by 2012. In Germany, the government is encouraging pig farmers to give each pig 20 seconds of human contact each day and to provide them with toys to prevent them from fighting.

Other funding sources have fueled the growing field of study into animal emotions and cognitive abilities.

Researchers were stunned recently by findings (published in the journal Science) on the conceptual abilities of New Caledonian crows. In controlled experiments, scientists at Oxford University reported that two birds named Betty and Abel were given a choice between using two tools, one a straight wire, the other a hooked wire, to snag a piece of meat from inside a tube. Both chose the hooked wire. Abel, the more dominant male, then stole Betty's hook, leaving her with only a straight wire. Betty then used her beak to wedge the straight wire in a crack and bent it with her beak to produce a hook. She then snagged the food from inside the tube. Researchers repeated the experiment and she fashioned a hook out of the wire nine of out of 10 times.

Equally impressive is Koko, the 300-pound gorilla at the Gorilla Foundation in Northern California, who was taught sign language and has mastered more than 1,000 signs and understands several thousand English words. On human IQ tests, she scores between 70 and 95.

Tool-making and the development of sophisticated language skills are just two of the many attributes we thought were exclusive to our species. Self-awareness is another.

Some philosophers and animal behaviorists have long argued that other animals are not capable of self-awareness because they lack a sense of individualism. Not so, according to new studies. At the Washington National Zoo, orangutans given mirrors explore parts of their bodies they can't otherwise see, showing a sense of self. An orangutan named Chantek who lives at the Atlanta Zoo used a mirror to groom his teeth and adjust his sunglasses.

Of course, when it comes to the ultimate test of what distinguishes humans from the other creatures, scientists have long believed that mourning for the dead represents the real divide. It's commonly believed that other animals have no sense of their mortality and are unable to comprehend the concept of their own death. Not necessarily so. Animals, it appears, experience grief. Elephants will often stand next to their dead kin for days, occasionally touching their bodies with their trunks.

We also know that animals play, especially when young. Recent studies in the brain chemistry of rats show that when they play, their brains release large amounts of dopamine, a neurochemical associated with pleasure and excitement in human beings.

Noting the striking similarities in brain anatomy and chemistry of humans and other animals, Stephen M. Siviy, a behavioral scientist at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania, asks a question increasingly on the minds of other researchers. "If you believe in evolution by natural selection, how can you believe that feelings suddenly appeared, out of the blue, with human beings?"

Until very recently, scientists were still advancing the idea that most creatures behaved by sheer instinct and that what appeared to be learned behavior was merely genetically wired activity. Now we know that geese have to teach their goslings their migration routes. In fact, we are finding that learning is passed on from parent to offspring far more often than not and that most animals engage in all kinds of learned experience brought on by continued experimentation.

Sort each group of words according to whether it is a clause or Not clauses
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Clause

Susan waited patiently

I swim

because she visited

Not Clause.

those zebras

bought a new skateboard

the girl in the relay race

Explanation:

A clause can be defined as a group of words that contains a subject and a verb or verb phrase. A clause contains a subject and a predicate and is part of a longer sentence and it can be the sentence itself.

How do we identify a clause?

Though, clauses come in four types: main, subordinate, relative, and noun.

They all have something in common. Every clause no matter its type and form has at least a subject and a verb.

In each of the group of words above, the presence of a subject and a verb makes it a clause else, it is not.

- those zebras (not a clause)

Why? Because it has no verb

- Susan waited patiently (a clause).

Why? It has a subject (Susan) and a verb (waited)

- bought a new skateboard (not a clause)

Why? Because it has no subject

- the girl in the relay race (not a clause)

Why? Because it has no verb

I swim (a clause).

Why? It has a subject (I) and a verb (swim)

because she visited (a clause).

Why? It has a subject (she) and a verb (visited)
