Question

1. part b: which two sentences from the passage best support the authors point in part a?

a. \they are practicing skills theyll need later in life.\ (paragraph 3)
b. \this is why different kinds of animals play in different ways.\ (paragraph 3)
c. \prey animals, such as elk, deer, or antelope, play differently.\ (paragraph 4)
d. \they dash about like crazy, leaping wildly in the air - twisting, turning twirling.\ (paragraph 4)
e. \they act like they have flies in their brains.\ (paragraph 4)
f. \but these animals are rehearsing skills theyll need one day to escape predators and avoid becoming dinner.\

Explanation:

To answer this, we need to find sentences that support the author's point in Part A. Sentence A mentions animals practicing life - skills and sentence F elaborates on prey animals rehearsing skills to escape predators. These two sentences likely support the main point about animals' play being related to survival skills.

Answer:

A. "they are practicing skills they'll need later in life." (Paragraph 3)
F. "But these animals are rehearsing skills they'll need one day to escape predators and avoid becoming dinner." (Paragraph 4)
