Text 1Traditional thought has long held that humans are the most complex and intelligent creatures in the modern world. Humans not only have unique problem solving skills but are also distinguished by individual and widely varied personalities and cultures across the world which are easily observed and documented. Text 2In her 2016 book The Soul of an Octopus, naturalist and writer Sy Montgomery immersed herself in the world of octopuses and attempted to understand their behaviors and characteristics. Throughout the book, Montgomery explores the different personalities of the octopuses across the world that she has met and catalogues the ways in which they use their intelligence to solve problems in manners similar to humans. Based on the texts, how would Montgomery (Text 2) most likely respond to the “traditional thought” presented in Text 1?By conceding the intelligence of octopuses, but arguing that their intelligence is fundamentally different from that of humanseliminateBy disputing the idea that human personalities and cultures vary widely across the globeeliminateBy acknowledging human intelligence far outpaces that of the octopuses she observedeliminateBy challenging the assumption that certain behaviors in humans are unique and unable to be observed in any other creatures

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:Instances of marine animals washing ashore have been well-studied in species like dolphins and whales, for which such occurrences are fairly commonplace, but not in octopuses, which are far less likely to be found on beaches.Brett Stones and a team of scientists observed dozens of curled octopuses washed up on shore in Wales.Stones and his team observed each octopus using their tentacles to “walk” across the shore.The octopuses were not found to have any injuries or signs of harm.Many of the same species of octopus were later found to be dead in the ocean some distance away from the shoreline.Though the team is investigating the cause of this behavior, no explanation has yet been found.The student wants to emphasize the mysterious nature of the phenomenon. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish the goal?After they discovered many octopuses “walking” on the shore, Stones and his team discovered more of the same octopus species in the ocean.eliminateWe now know that dolphins and whales are not the only marine animals known to wash ashore; octopuses have been found washed ashore as well.eliminateStones and his team made observations regarding dozens of octopuses, and how they used their tentacles to move around the Welsh shore.eliminateScientists were unable to determine the reason dozens of octopuses were found "walking" on a shore in Wales, or what caused the deaths of many of the same species of octopus in the water off the shoreline.

Many octopus species live in shallow waters in coral reefs. They feed on worms, crabs, small fish, shrimp and shellfish. Identify the direct source of the energy that octopuses need to power their body functions.
