Inferences

SAT Reading and Writing· difficulty 2/5

Ravens have been observed caching food and later returning to retrieve it, but only when no other ravens are watching. If observed while caching, ravens often return later to relocate the food to a new hiding place known only to themselves. Some studies further suggest that ravens behave differently depending on which specific individuals are present.

Based on the passage, which inference is most strongly supported about ravens?

  • A

    Ravens cache food cooperatively in groups

  • B

    Ravens are unable to remember the location of cached food

  • C

    Ravens cache food only in winter months

  • D

    Ravens appear to take into account what other ravens may know or have seen
