While studying a large colony of macaque monkeys, scientists interacting with baby monkeys under a week old found that the babies would imitate some, but not all, of the scientists' actions. ███ ██████ ███████ ███████ █████ ████ ███ █████ ███ █████ ███████ ████ ███ ██████████ ████ ███ ██████ ███████████ ████ ███ ██████████ ██████ ███ ██████ █████ ██████ ██ ████ ████ █████████ ██ █████ ████ █████ ██ ████████ ████ ███ ████████ ███ ████████ ███ ███ ██████ ███ ████ ██ █████ ████████ ████ ███████████ ████ ███████
Summary
Scientists studying a large colony of macaques found that the babies imitated some of the scientists' actions. They mimicked the scientists when they stuck their tongues out and licked their lips, but they did nothing when they opened or closed their mouths or made hand signs. However, only sticking out the tongue and lip-smacking are used by adult macaques when interacting with their babies.
Strongly Supported Conclusions
Baby macaques mimic the actions of adult macaques

a
Baby macaques under █ ████ ███ ███ ███████ ██████ ██ ████████ ████ ████
This is antisupported. The baby macaques only mimicked the actions that older macaques performed.
b

This is far too specific to support. Although the baby macaques did not perform hand gestures, the stimulus did not explain why.
c
Adult macaques use ███ ████████ ███ ████████ ███ ███ ██████ ██ █████████ ██████ █████████
This is too specific to support. The stimulus does not say why the adults stick out their tongues or smack their lips.
d
Baby macaques under █ ████ ███ ███████ ███ ██████████ ███████████ ████ ████ ███ █████ █████████
This is too specific to support. While the baby macaques mimic the scientist, the stimulus gives no indication that they mistake them for adult macaques. You need to make some assumptions for this to be right.
e
Baby macaques under █ ████ ███ ████ ███████ █████ ████████ ████ ████ ██ █████ █████████
The baby macaques only mimicked the scientists when they stuck on their tongues or smacked their lips, actions used by adult macaques. Thus, this is strongly supported.
