What is revealed by ‘mother bird removing the eggshells’?

Directions: Read the passage and answer the question that follows.

It is often believed that human behaviour is pre-determined by factors of nature, as some very prominent anthropologists and everyday people say. It is stated that political conservatives have sometimes favoured genetic explanations of behaviour and example of genetics would be a mother bird that removes the eggshells from the nest after the chicks have hatched. The mother bird does this because the outside of the eggshell is camouflaged and once hatched the inside is revealed which is not camouflaged. The broken eggshells will be seen by predators and will endanger the entire nest. Throwing out the broken pieces is an automatic response favoured by natural selection because birds that practice this behaviour have more surviving offspring.

Directions: In the question below, the first and the last (correctly ordered) sentences are numbered 1 and 6, respectively. The rest of the passage is split into four parts and named B, C, D and E. These four parts are not given in a proper order. Choose the correct combination from the given alternatives.

1. The video game industry began in 1971 with the release of the arcade game, Computer Space. B. Inspired by this success, the same year saw the introduction of video games to the home market with the release of the early video game console, the Magnavox Odyssey. C. The crash eventually came to an end with the success of Taito's Space Invaders, paving the way for the golden age of video arcade games. D. The following year, Atari, Inc. released the first commercially successful video game, Pong, the original arcade version of which sold over 19,000 arcade cabinets. E. However, both the arcade and home markets would be dominated by Pong clones, which flooded the market and led to the video game crash of 1977.
