V. Read the following passage and choose the best answer.
We, humans, are used to thinking that our minds separate us from other animals. But new studies show
that animals are quite intelligent and sensitive. Animal intelligence isn’t found only in mammals. It can be
found in other animals, such as birds.
Although we sometimes call people “birdbrains” as an insult, our feathered friends can be very smart.
Some can solve puzzles. For example, ravens can unite knots. Some birds can use tools. Some crows, for
example, use twigs as spears. Some birds can even use our language. An African Grey parrot named Alex
does more than just imitate human sounds. This parrot can name dozens of objects. It also seems to
understand the ideas of “same”, different”, and “amount”.
Animals are able to feel emotion, too. This ability can be as painful for them as it is for humans. For
example, some baboons live in groups where the leaders control through fear. Low-ranking baboons can
live in a constant state of stress. This stress can cause health problems, just as it does in humans. Some
animals feel sadness when a family member dies. Elephants show interest even in decade-old elephant
bones. Like humans, they are connected to each other in many ways.
