I would say A) festering. process of elimination can exclude b and d. So between a and c, a works best.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Line 6 through 10 tells about an experiment run by an animal researcher in which pigs were trained to play video games. Line 9-10 of the passage goes as: <em>"...Curtis (the researcher) said the pigs got the point within minutes, learning at as rate as fast as chimpanzees." </em>He compared the learning speed between pigs and chimpanzees, which implies that chimpanzees were also trained to play the same games as pigs and even before pigs.
In addition:
A is incorrect as <em>candy </em>was not mentioned in the lines.
B is incorrect as the animal researcher worked with pigs <em>over a period of several weeks</em>, not years.
C is incorrect as the game was not described in the lines so the matching game was unknown.
