The correct answer is C) Words can have many different meanings, and the information age has created many new meanings for words.

With the raise of new technology and new forms of communication, technological terms were invented, giving some existing words a double meaning. This can be confusing for someone that didn't grow up with the internet, and someone from the Internet Age would be confused if you told them that monitor is also a type of lizard.

Can you write a summary and tell me how smart are animals? Thanks!!
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Animals are smart for many reasons. Some are closely related to humans and have many of the same characteristics. An example of this are gorillas. There is evidence that gorillas speak their own language, use tools, and care for each other. They also adopt the kids of those monkeys that die. Both gorillas and dolphins are mammals, and give birth to live children. Also, they both breathe oxygen. Another example is the dolphin. They teach themselves tricks and can speak their own language. When once captive dolphins are let free, they teach their fellow dolphins those tricks. When some of us go dolphin watching, those mammals sometimes perform tricks. This is just a little bit of evidence that points to the fact that animals are creative creatures.
