In Passage 2, lines 67-68 ("Granted . . . chimp")
principally serve to
(A) acknowledge a flaw in a prevalent theory
(B) digress from a primary claim
(C) evoke an air of mystery
(D) dismiss a scientific hypothesis as unfounded
(E) anticipate a potential objection to an argument

Respuesta :

The correct answer is Option (E).

Anticipate a potential objection to an argument.

The author anticipates a potential rebuttal to the claim that dogs have an unmatched capacity for collaboration and human communication by acknowledging that chimpanzees are superior to canines in some traditional measures of intelligence. Thus, Option (E) is correct.

While,

Choice (A) is unsatisfactory. No theory mentioned in the passage is in conflict with a chimpanzee's ability to complete a maze more quickly than a dog.

Choice (B) is unsatisfactory. A text's main argument may "digress" from time to time. But the author's assertion that dogs have a keen intelligence is heavily correlated with lines 67–68.

Choice (C) is unsatisfactory. Instead, the concession made by the author in Passage 2 is intended to make the case for canine intelligence more clear.

Choice (D) is unsatisfactory. No attempt to refute a scientific theory is made in lines 67–68. As an alternative, they make an effort to contextualize the findings of a particular scientific finding.
