Tip of the Day In the case of paragraph fill-in-the-blanks, use your understanding of the entire paragraph to select an appropriate answer choice. An answer choice that fits into a particular sentence, but does not agree with the tone of the paragraph should not be considered. Last year's Question of the day (18-Jun-11) Given below is a passage followed by several statements that can be drawn from the facts stated in the passage. Examine each statement separately in the context of the passage and decide whether it is implied from the passage. Choose the option that states the ones that are not implicit. Sociobiology has been less successful in its application to human behavior than in its application to non-human systems, because it ignores the contributions of the mind and culture. A second criticism concerns genetic determinism, the view that many social behaviors are genetically fixed. If male aggression is genetically fixed and reproductively advantageous, critics argue, then male aggression seems to be a biological reality (and, perhaps, a biological 'good') about which we have little control. This seems to be both politically dangerous and scientifically implausible. - Sociobiological models are inadequate to explain human behaviour.
- Sociobiology maintains a status quo on human behaviour.
- Sociobiology is both politically dangerous and scientifically implausible.
