June 2007 PrepTest, Section 3, Question 5
Atrens: An early entomologist observed ants carrying particles to neighboring ant colonies and inferred that the ants were bringing food to their neighbors. Further research, however, revealed that the ants were emptying their own colony's dumping site. Thus, the early entomologist was wrong.

Atrens's conclusion follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?
Ant societies do not interact in all the same ways that human societies interact.
There is only weak evidence for the view that ants have the capacity to make use of objects as gifts.
Ant dumping sites do not contain particles that could be used as food.
The ants to whom the particles were brought never carried the particles into their own colonies.
The entomologist cited retracted his conclusion when it was determined that the particles the ants carried came from their dumping site.
