Which of the following statements concerning the valence model and the approach-withdrawal model most accurately reflects information provided in the Passage?

• A. Both models seek primarily to describe how emotion is expressed in behavior.
• B. Each of the two models explains how emotional information affects the processing of cognitive information in the human brain.
• C. The assumptions of both models concerning the processing of visuospatial information are identical with those made by Karev.
• D. Both models suggest that cognitive information is processed by only one brain hemisphere in humans.
• E. Each of the two models implicates both hemispheres of the human brain in the processing of emotion.

Because of the positive correlation across animal species between body size and home range size, researchers suspected that body size of female mallards (a species of duck) may influence their home range size. The researchers also reasoned that younger females may be forced into less suitable habitats by older females competing with them for optimal areas, with the younger females compensating by having larger home ranges.
However, their research supported neither suspicion. The failure to detect variation of range size according to body size may be due to other, undetermined mallard attributes (for example, body condition) that may have been a significant factor affecting home range size. The fact that most yearling females can breed may help to explain why the expected age effect was not confirmed, since home range size may be affected by breeding capability.
The researchers did find, however, that home range size of females was Inversely related to the percentage of the study area composed of seasonal or semipermanent wetlands. This may have been because of reduced competition for breeding space within the species when more of the wetlands were present. They also found home range size to decrease somewhat as the percentage of wood-shrub habitat increased, suggesting that reduction in visual contact among mallard pairs may reduce interaction and thus reduce competition among breeding pairs.
Regarding female mallards, which of the following was a finding of the researchers' study described in the passage?

• A. Female mallard body size sometimes influences the birds' home range size.
• B. Female mallard body size has relatively little if any effect on home range size.
• C. Younger female mallards tend to be forced into less suitable habitat by older female malar ds.
• D. Female mallards in larger home ranges tend to be those that have had greater success at breeding.
• E. The bodies of larger female mallards tend to be in better condition.
