Choose the statement(s) which is/are TRUE based on the information given in the passage. (I) Our systems are built in a way that only allows us to scream in dangerous or threatening situations. (II) One of the ways humans tackle fear is by going into a freeze mode and acting dead, which is similar to an action seen in animals. (III) The brain sorts the noises we hear regularly on the basis of factors such as gender, high or low tone, age, etc.
- Both II and III
- Both II and I
- Only III
- Both I and III
Correct answer: Both II and III
Solution
Statement II is true because the passage says humans can freeze or 'play dead' in response to fear, similar to animals. Statement III is true because the passage explains that the brain analyzes sounds by features such as gender, age, and tone. Statement I is too absolute and is not supported by the passage.
