Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

 Possible response points:
 Humans have a uniquely strong ability to form interpersonal relationships, operate within complex social systems, and effectively communicate with one another.
 It seems that forming and maintaining social relationships is what sets us apart from other animals.
 It also appears that many of the skills and abilities humans possess evolved in order for humans to better form and maintain social relationships.
 Evidence of this comes from the fact that people (more often than other animals) look to one another for information rather to the environment.
 Evidence for this also comes from the fact that human sensory organs seem to be designed for accurate interpersonal perception.
