21. Answer the questions based on the passage below (1 point)

The study of cetacean intelligence has added to our understanding of dolphin

behavior. Even though cetaceans, which are marine animals including dolphins,
whales, and porpoises, are widely considered intelligent species, conclusions
about the type and extent of dolphin intelligence have not yet been reached.
However, there are several things that we do know about the ways in which
dolphins communicate and behave in groups.

Researchers study the level of communication among dolphins because

communication systems can offer insight into an animal’s intelligence. Dolphins
produce two primary types of vocalizations called clicks and whistles. Dolphins
generally use clicks for the purposes of echolocation and whistles for
communication. Dolphins emit clicks as rapid broadband bursts that are sent out
into their environment and then echo back, giving them information about their
surroundings. Whistles differ from clicks by being sent out as narrow-band
frequency modulated signals, which are for communications such as contact calls.
Strong evidence supports the idea that dolphins use signature whistles to identify
and call to each other.

One hypothesis called the “acoustic flashlight” hypothesis maintains that dolphins
may be able to learn passively about their surroundings by listening in on the
 Page 5 of 13

echolocative inspections of other dolphins. Scientists are researching this idea by

looking at how dolphins participate in postural pointing, an activity that humans
perform when they point a finger to direct another person towards an object or
location.

Communication is also an important part of how dolphins behave in groups, which

can range in size from a pair of dolphins to a pod of hundreds of individuals.
Researchers have noticed that large packs rely on a highly organized method of
communication when responding to predators, such as sharks. When a group of
dolphins reacts to an unexpected disturbance, it will quickly move in near-unison
to avoid the threat. In this way, dolphins rely on visual and auditory cues to
communicate their location and to interpret the locations of others in the pod.

Question-

It can be inferred from the passage that a dolphin would use clicks instead of
whistles to:
A call to another member of the same pod
B locate a possible route through an underwater obstacle
C communicate a perceived threat to other dolphins
D contact other dolphins when separated from a group

22. According to the passage, rapid communication enables dolphins to: (1 point)
A move quickly as a group to escape a perceived threat
B work in unison to locate food sources
C establish relationships quickly with their peers
D have more highly organized hunting patterns

23. It can be inferred from the passage that if another animal does not have a (1 point)
communication system as highly advanced as that of a dolphin, then:
A the other animal will be less likely to survive a shark attack
B the other animal is probably a whale or porpoise
C the other animal probably does not travel in a group with others of its kind
D the other animal is likely considered less intelligent than the dolphin

A defining the term “cetacean intelligence” by offering an example of dolphin
communication
B providing an in-depth analysis of a disputed claim
C to introduce the passage’s focus on how the dolphins communicate and behave in groups
