Question

38According to the information in the article, which of the following was a characteristic found exclusively in those snails trained in epi-infused water?A The training sessions made their pneumostomes more sensitive to physical stimulation.B They developed a lower tolerance to oxygen-poor water.C On average, they incorporated new behavioral patterns three times faster than did snails trained in plain water.D After they had been trained to modify one kind of behavior, it was relatively easy to train them to modify other kinds of behavior.E After they had been trained to modify one kind of behavior, it was relatively hard to train them to abandon that modified behavior.

Answer 1

A alternativa correta é a E.

É possível encontrar essa informação no terceiro parágrafo do texto. Nele, o autor afirma que, após o experimento, foi muito mais difícil modificar o comportamento dos caracóis treinados na água com epicatechin (epi) do que dos caracóis treinados em água comum.

“Snails trained in epi also had stronger memories than snails trained in regular water – that is, it was harder to train them to ignore what they had learned”.
