Zorluk: KolayEvaluating Inter-Passage Relationships and Function

Passage A
Play behavior in young mammals, such as tiger cubs chasing one another, is primarily a training ground for survival. Through play, young animals practice critical physical maneuvers like pouncing, sprinting, and wrestling. These activities build muscle strength, improve cardiovascular fitness, and refine coordination. Ultimately, this physical play prepares juveniles for the serious tasks of adulthood, such as hunting prey and escaping predators.

Passage B
While play certainly exercises an animal’s muscles, its true value lies in social development. For species that live in groups, play acts as a social glue. By engaging in play-fighting, young animals learn the complex social rules of their community, such as how to signal aggression, show submission, and build alliances. These interactions establish trust and define hierarchical roles, which are essential for maintaining group harmony.

  1. A
    Passage A argues that play is necessary for survival, while Passage B argues that play has no real benefits for animals.
  2. Passage A explains how play helps animals develop physical survival skills, while Passage B explains how play helps animals develop social structures.Cevap
  3. C
