Explanation for Question 43 From the Reading Section on the 2018 April Sat

Question 43 guys says it can be reasonably inferred that the second 2 prediction tested by Williams and her colleagues reflects wish assumption. 3 So let's go back and take a look at what the second prediction is. 4 This starts here. It says the second prediction was a redhead bird should be 5 bolder, more explorative and take more risks than black headed bird birds. 6 This hypothesis based on previous studies of other species that have shown a correlation 7 between ingression and these behavioral characteristics. 8 So it's saying these behavioral carer characteristics of being bold and more explorative 9 are aligned with birds being are aligned with aggression and red-headed birds are more 10 aggressive. So what then goes on and say, 11 however, there's another possibility redheaded birds could take fewer risks because of this. 12 And this sort of saying could really go either way. 13 So, um, when it says it can be reasonably furred from a second prediction 14 tested by Williams and her college reflects which assumption let's let's think about these 15 ACE has risk taking is more beneficial to black headed finches than to ride 16 headed ones. 17 It doesn't want it saying this isn't necessarily telling us that it's, 18 um, it's reflecting the assumption that, 19 that they're going to benefit more by risk-taking. 20 So we can cross that out. B says aggressive behaviors in black and redheaded 21 finches will be comparable. Now this does seem to fit in with what we 22 know alrea...
