scientists have often debated about whether animals have the capacity for human - like emotional connection. one possible example of such connection is elephants that have been observed apparently paying homage to their dead. in a study conducted in kenya, researchers placed three objects - a piece of wood, a piece of elephant ivory, and an elephant skull - a short distance from a herd. the elephants showed a marked preference for the ivory and the skull. they repeated the experiment with the skulls of an elephant and two other animals. as they predicted, the elephants showed a preference for the elephant skull. which generalization can be made based on the passage? 1 elephant responses to different objects indicate a human - like emotional connection to other elephants. 2 all animals have emotional responses to the deaths of others of their species. 3 elephants respond to the remains of other elephants in an apparently emotional fashion.
