Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

l very recently, most people assumed that the ability to feel and exhibit emotions was limited toeings. It was generally assumed that animals could simply not feel emotions such as happines, jealousy, anger, or grief. It wasn't that the intensity of these emotions was more limited than in the general consensus was that such emotions were literally absent in all other animals. wever, such thinking has recently been called into question as more and more researchers are ng evidence that suggests animals do indeed feel emotions. In some cases, these emotions arious! Dog owners have known this for a long time. If a dog does something bad and is reprimanner, it will often hang its head low and exhibit \and this is, in effect, its exhibition of sadness and sorrow.

ther relatively clear example of animals' emotional behaviour is when they show aggression. Inses, it doesn't take very much for animals to become irritated and angry. Dogs, wolves, lions, tigearly every animal has been observed in an agitated state and acting out against the cause of n. In fact, animal researchers have even witnessed animals in the wild waging war and exactin

ogists have reported on countless other examples of animals' emotional behaviour. For examp

some animals grieve over deceased family members, some dream and have nightmares, some display pride in the work demanded of them, some exhibit friendship and cooperation, and many show love. Examples of compassion and self-indulged enjoyment are also not uncommon.

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

ny people often wonder about the terms \e? Is one worse than the other? Are they committed by different kinds of people? What does cdo with the color of your shirt?

t, it is helpful to understand that blue-collar workers are those people employed in jobs that reqabor, and white-collar workers perform non-manual labor in an office setting. The terms can beck to the 19th century, when industrial workers and manual laborers were required to wear cloto the difficult work — which was typically a blue work shirt or blue coveralls. In contrast, onal workers in offices generally wore white dress shirts.

ay, the primary distinctions between white-collar and blue-collar crime are the social class to wect belongs and the type of crime committed. Blue-collar crimes are committed by individuals frcial classes (ie, less privileged backgrounds with fewer professional and societal opportunities),llar crimes, conversely, are committed by individuals from higher, more affluent social classes. exact nature of the crime is also a defining factor of blue-collar versus white-collar crime. ar crimes tend to be relatively obvious (eg, vandalism, robbery, and shoplifting) or violent (eg, arson, and murder) crimes that are committed out of desperation. White-collar crimes, however crimes (eg, bribery, embezzlement, and computer crime) committed by people who have the nd opportunity to exploit professional situations.

impossible to say that one type of crime is worse than the other, for both have serious and lastor the victims.
