Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Emotions are more than just spontaneous physical reactions - they are powerful survival tools that have developed over thousands of years of human history. When people face sudden danger, such as a wild animal or an unexpected fall, the brain creates an emotional response very quickly. Fear, for example, prepares the body to either run away from danger or face it directly. If early humans had not been able to feel strong emotions like fear, surviving in dangerous natural environments would have been much harder.

Emotions also play an important role in helping people live together in communities. Positive feelings, such as happiness and love, make people more willing to cooperate and share what they have with others. These behaviours helped early human groups become stronger and more united. On the other hand, when someone shows sadness, it sends a clear message to those around them that they need help. This natural way of communicating emotions is one of the reasons why human communities have stayed connected for so long.

The way we experience emotions is mainly controlled by a small but important part of the brain called the amygdala. The amygdala is always checking our surroundings for possible dangers or rewards. When it notices something important, it sends signals through the body. As a result, our heart beats faster, our muscles tighten, and we become more focused. Interestingly, all of this happens before we even have time to think clearly about what is going on - which means that our feelings often come before our thoughts do.

  • To suggest that modern humans have lost their ability to feel fear.

According to the passage, what is most surprising about emotional responses?

  • They get stronger each time a person faces the same danger.
  • They depend on how serious the threat actually is.
  • They happen before the person has time to think about the situation.
