De volgende drie alinea’s van tekst 12 staan hieronder, maar niet in de
juiste volgorde.
Noteer de letters in de juiste volgorde op het antwoordblad.
[a] Similar experiments were carried out with other parts of the face,
raising the cheekbones to simulate a snarl, thinning the lips, flaring the
nostrils or pushing out the chin. The presence of any one of these ‘angry’
facial features led the participants to judge that the person was physically
stronger.
[b] So, like a frog puffing itself up or a dog baring its teeth, our angry
faces have evolved as a way of intimidating others and displaying
strength. Since people who are judged to be stronger tend to get their way
more often, other things being equal, the explanation for evolution of the
form of the human anger face is surprisingly simple: it is a threat display.
[c] They took a computer-generated image of a typical male face and
digitally altered it to have either a raised or a lowered brow. With just this
one difference, neither face appeared ‘angry’. But when these two faces
were shown to subjects, they reported the lowered brow face as looking
like it belonged to a physically stronger man.
