Answer:
c. He was present when his mother, Matata, was being taught how to communicate.
Explanation:
The attempts to 'teach' language and help animals communicate with humans has been ongoing research and practical work of many linguistics and psychologists. Sue Savage-Rumbaugh is one of those psychologists who worked on teaching language and communication between animals and humans, specifically focusing on the bonobos.
Kanzi was an infant bonobo when Sue first began teaching lexigrams to Matata, Kanzi's adopted mother. But despite their attempts, Matata seemed to be incapable of learning or understanding anything. Taken back to another facility to be a breeder, Kanzi was left behind. After a couple of days, Sue noticed that Kanzi had absorbed whatever had been taught to his mother. This led Sue to focus on teaching Kanzi instead.
Thus, the correct answer is that Kanzi was present when his mother, Matata was being taught to communicate.
What kind of short story? If your gonna ask for help at least include more details
Answer:
The correct pronoun to fill in the blank is:
From the first time they met, Walter and he never did get along well.
Explanation:
Both "him" and "he" can be used, but it will depend on whether or not we need a subject. Suppose we did not need a subject here. Then it would be okay to use "him": "I remember when I first met Walter and him."
However, that is not the case with the sentence we are completing in this exercise. "Walter" and "he" are both the subject of "never did get along". One way to test that out is by separating the subjects:
Walter never got along. OK
Him never got along. NOT OK
He never got along. OK
Thus, the sentence should be:
From the first time they met, Walter and he never did get along well.
