To answer the questions related to the passage "Talking Chimps," you have to read the body paragraph carefully and analyze the information presented. In question 1, you need to identify which sentence includes an objection. To find the answer, you need to identify any sentence that presents criticism or opposition to the early experiments with chimps using language. By reading the paragraph, you'll see that sentence 1 presents the criticism, making it the correct answer.
In question 2, you are asked to identify the sentence that includes a counter-argument. A counter-argument is a response to an objection or criticism, supporting the opposing view. By reading the paragraph, you'll notice that sentence 3 introduces Sarah, who is a chimp demonstrating an understanding of language beyond what critics argued. This sentence counters the objection presented in sentence 1, making it the correct answer.
Now, let's move on to question 3, which asks you to provide a counter-argument for the claim that the school day should begin at 6 AM. To construct a counter-argument, you need to present a different perspective that opposes the claim. In this case, an opposing argument could be that an early start to the day would allow an early end, enabling students to get to bed earlier. This counter-argument suggests that starting the school day earlier may not necessarily lead to better outcomes or academic performance.
In question 4, you are asked to identify which option is not a good idea for developing the thesis of your persuasive speech. To answer this question, you need to evaluate the options and identify the one that is not a suitable approach for developing a thesis. Making hasty generalizations to have something to argue is not a good idea because it lacks thorough research, evidence, and critical thinking, and can weaken your argument. Therefore, this is the correct answer.
Lastly, in question 5, you are given a sentence and asked to correct it. The sentence "My father's store is located at the intersection of 51st St. and 2nd Ave." contains the names written as numerical figures. To make it correct, the names of streets and avenues should be spelled out. Therefore, the corrected version would be "Fifty-first Street and Second Avenue."
