PrepTest 94+, Section 2, Question 1
When primatologist Akira Suzuki began studying snow monkeys in the 1950s, he found that they often roamed out of the mountains to feed in apple orchards. After a decade of observing this behavior, Suzuki began to feed the monkeys in their mountain habitat by providing them with soybeans to eat. The monkeys no longer raided the orchards. When Suzuki began his work, 23 snow monkeys lived in the region he studied. The population today is 270 snow monkeys and is expected to continue growing.

Which one of the following claims is most strongly supported by the information above?
Snow monkeys do not feed outside of their mountain habitat when food is readily available within it.
For snow monkeys, soybeans provide more complete nutrition than other beans.
In feeding soybeans to the monkeys, Suzuki did not intend to provoke the phenomenal population growth that resulted.
Snow monkeys eat apples only if there is no other fruit to eat.
Feeding soybeans to snow monkeys has proved to be an environmentally unsound policy.
