rhesus monkeys

Expert replies

In 1960’s studies of rats, scientists found that crowding increases the number of attacks
among the animals significantly. But in recent experiments in which rhesus monkeys
were placed in crowded conditions, although there was an increase in instances of
“coping” behavior—such as submissive gestures and avoidance of dominant
individuals—attacks did not become any more frequent. Therefore it is not likely that,
for any species of monkey, crowding increases aggression as significantly as was seen in
rats.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
A. All the observed forms of coping behavior can be found among rhesus monkeys
living in uncrowded conditions.
B. In the studies of rats, nondominant individuals were found to increasingly avoid
dominant individuals when the animals were in crowded conditions.
C. Rhesus monkeys respond with aggression to a wider range of stimuli than any
other monkeys do.
D. Some individual monkeys in the experiment were involved in significantly more
attacks than the other monkeys were.
E. Some of the coping behavior displayed by rhesus monkeys is similar to behavior
rhesus monkeys use to bring to an end an attack that has begun.

C it should be.

The 2 choices are A and C. but C wins, because A limits the scope of rhesus monkets.

Conclusion of the sentence is very open and pertains to all the species of monkeys rather than only rhesus monkeys.
Therefore, If the rhesus monkeys are the most aggresive among all the species of monkeys then, their submissive behaviour in a crowded environment can be applied to all other monkey species(all of whom are less aggressive then rhesus).

I fully agree with PandeyVineet.

Here the argument tries to extrapolate the results of the test conducted on Rhesus monkeys to the whole lot of Monkey family.

To strengthen the argument, the better way to state is that Rhesus monkey that is used for " testing" is " best in class" and the results obtaines with rhesus monkeys can be mapped to whole Monkey family itself.

This Option C tries to remove a alternate explanation "what if some othet class of Monkeys that can respond in a better way than Rhesus monkey which could damage the conclusion ( crowding wont increase aggression ) arrived".

C it is... the question was always between Rhesus monkeys and other monkeys...
no option other than C had it!

using experimental results of Rhesus monkeys a conclusion is drawn abt other monkeys
C shows the relationship between 2 species
