C.They send a stern warning to other animals to stay away from the territory.

Answer 13

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The correct answer is B. Many middens are located at the edge of a group's territory to send a message to other large social groups that food can be found nearby. By placing their middens at the territory's edge, the group is essentially signaling to other groups that there is a source of food available in that area, potentially attracting other animals and creating competition.

Answer 14

b is incorrect

Answer 15

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's reconsider the options:

Given the context of the passage mentioning middens (referring to the place where certain animals, like elephants, deposit their waste), the likely correct answer is C. Many middens are located at the edge of a group's territory as a means to send a stern warning to other animals to stay away from the territory. By having the waste concentrated at the edges, it serves as a visible and olfactory deterrent to potential intruders, signaling that the territory is occupied and defended by the group.

Mantis shrimp use their super-powered eyes to see light and colors that are invisible to other creatures. This capability allows them to send and receive messages that predators can't see. They may flash invitations to potential mates. Or they may flash stern warnings to competitors.

A.demonstrate how mantis shrimp can communicate secretly

D.argue that mantis shrimp are not safe from predators

Answer 17

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The author's purpose for writing this passage was to "demonstrate how mantis shrimp can communicate secretly". The passage highlights the unique visual capabilities of mantis shrimp, specifically their ability to see light and colors that are invisible to other creatures, which allows them to communicate using messages that predators cannot see. This implies that mantis shrimp have a form of secret communication that gives them an advantage in their interactions with potential mates and competitors.
