DISCUSSION: This is from lines 1-6. The point was that we once thought these were the only hormones that influenced behavior. We now realize steroid and peptide hormones also influence behavior.
___________
- There’s no mention of the history of that research. There are no dates, scientists or important discoveries mentioned.
- Not at all! The passage makes clear that hormones influence behavior in more ways than we realized.
- CORRECT. Most earlier research focussed on reproductive hormones. This gives context; it shows that the new research is broader.
- The passage doesn’t say the old ideas about reproductive hormones were wrong. It’s just we now know there are other types of hormones that also influence behavior.
- Which procedures are described? And which ‘recent’ research is mentioned? None of this happens. (No one said the research on reproductive hormones was recent.)
