Question

consider this claim: by some measures, dolphins are more intelligent than humans. which piece of evidence better supports this claim? evidence a: one measure of intelligence is the ability to recognize oneself in a mirror. a study revealed that dolphins recognize themselves when they are seven months old—even earlier than human babies do. evidence b: research has long shown that dolphins are extremely intelligent. dolphins can learn and apply knowledge, understand challenging situations, think abstractly, solve problems, and feel emotions.

Explanation:

Evidence A provides a specific measure (mirror - self - recognition) and a comparison between dolphins and humans (dolphins recognize themselves earlier than human babies). Evidence B is more general about dolphin intelligence without a direct comparison to humans on a specific measure. So Evidence A better supports the claim that by some measures, dolphins are more intelligent than humans.

Answer:

Evidence A
