Barron's SAT CR workbook 13th edition-Questions on a Section

<p>Just some questions on the section of questions found on page 127 questions 7-15
I do not understand why number 11 is C, 12 is C, 14 is D.</p>

<p>For number 11, which I chose B because "variations in behavior exist among primates of different species". The correct answer, "chimpanzees are different". Is it because I did not fully understand what "primates" meant, and chose an answer meant to lure me in?</p>

<p>For number 12, which I chose E because in the passage supports it especially in 49-50 and hints throughout the passage that loyalty to the group is essential to survival (food, fighting off predators, etc). However, the answer is C, which shocked me: "each chimpanzee has a distinct personality". After I looked at the answer I can understand a bit now, but can someone explain this a bit more? </p>

<p>For number 14, I chose E because on line 70 it mentions that the size of a regional population must be restricted by the amount of members that an animal can identify and have friendly relations with. I do not get why it would be the size of food supply, although it is also mentioned. I think that both answers could have been correct...</p>

<p>Is there anyone who can explain? thanks</p>

<p>CP.</p>

<p>I also own this book, though I don’t really like it. I’ll try my best to explain these things. </p>

<p>Number 11, line 13 pretty much says “On the other hand”, which I guess is meant to signal contrast.</p>

<p>Number 12, its C because line 58 says “they have rejected individual uniformity”</p>

<p>Number 14, line 73 or so talks about how environmental conditions, such as food, limit the upper limit of the number of members in a region.</p>

<p>Hope this help. Like I said, I don’t really like the questions in this book.</p>
