Question

Which of the following statements best describes the central theme of the passage?

• A. The courtship behaviour of birds
• B. The similarities between the courtship behaviour of birds and man
• C. The astonishing facts about the jackdaw's love life
• D. The scientific study of the jackdaw's life

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The similarities between the courtship behaviour of birds and man

The first sentence of the passage says that a male jackdaw's courtship behavior is very human-like. The passage then goes on to explain how a male jackdaw's behavior is similar to that of a male human when it comes to attracting the female. Hence, B is the correct answer.

We can reject the other options. They are not consistent with the contents of the passage.
