A A pigeon is more attracted by a box containing two pieces of food than by a box containing one piece B When asked by its trainer how old it is, a monkey holds up five fingers C When one of its four kittens crawls away, a mother cat misses it and searches for the kitten D A lion follows one antelope instead of the herd of antelopes because it is easier to hunt a single prey 18: How would the author probably characterize the people who are mentioned in the first line of the second paragraph?
