Explanation for Question 27 From the Reading Section on the 2021 March Sat
Question 27 asks us for evidence for the answer to the previous question. 2 The previous question is asking about the results of the ball moving tasks. 3 So we want to find an answer twice that gives us some good insight 4 into what those findings were looking at. 5 Our answer choices. We start with choice a lines 40 to 43, 6 and we'll see that in these lines, 7 the movement of a ball with a magnet was enough for some of the 8 bees to learn the task significantly better than the bees who did not receive 9 any demonstration. So this is comparing the results of 10 the control group that, um, 11 didn't actually receive any demonstration. 12 And then the one treatment group where they were able to watch the ball 13 with the magnet, complete the task. Um, 14 so this doesn't really relate to any of our answer choices for the previous 15 question. Um, so for that reason, 16 we can rule out choice a for number 27, 17 choice B is lines 46 to 49. 18 That is up here. This suggests the observer bait is picked up something important 19 from their fellow bees that help them learn this unnatural task. 20 So this talks about kind of learning between the bees and that 21 connects really nicely with our answer choice for 26, 22 um, choice C observing the behaviors of other bees, 23 um, unlike choice, a it kind of touches on that key trial about what 24 happens when bees watch other bees as compared to one bees, 25 just have that sort of less personal, 26 you know, um, physical object demonstra...
