The correct response is:
Elephants use grouping for cooperation, and ants use grouping for protection of the young.
The correct answer is:
Ants use grouping for cooperation, and elephants use grouping for protection of the young.
To arrive at this answer, one can examine the natural behavior of ants and elephants.
Ants primarily use grouping for cooperation. They live in organized colonies where thousands of ants work together for the greater good of the colony. Each ant has a specific role, such as foraging for food, tending to the young, or defending the nest. By cooperating and working together, ants are able to achieve tasks that would be impossible for an individual ant to accomplish alone.
On the other hand, elephants primarily use grouping for the protection of the young. Elephants live in matriarchal family groups where the older, more experienced females lead and protect the group. This group dynamic provides a strong defense against predators and helps ensure the survival of the young elephants.
So, while both ants and elephants use grouping as a survival strategy, their primary purposes differ. Ants use grouping for cooperation, while elephants use grouping for protection of the young.
