Both the author of the passage 1 and the experts mentioned in passage 2 hold the belief that dogs are less intelligent than many people believe. In passage 1 it has been claimed that scientists believe the intelligence of chimps to be greater than that of dogs and that the belief that dogs are more intelligent is only due to the emotional ties that humans have with them. In passage 2 as per the experts, the dogs do not have any real reasoning abilities, unlike chimpanzees who do have such abilities and it has been said that dogs learn to avoid the unpleasant and they don't think. So, the correct option is 'Dogs are less intelligent than many people believe'.

Q2
passage
Greyhound racing is the sixth most popular spectator sport in the United States. Over the last decade, a growing number of racers have been adopted to spend their retirement as household pets, once their racing careers are over.
Many people hesitate to adopt a retired racing greyhound because they think only very old dogs are available. Actually, even champion racers only work until they are about three-and-ahalf years old. Because greyhounds usually live to be 12 to 15 years old, their retirement is much longer than their racing careers.
People worry that a greyhound will be more nervous and active than other breeds and will need a large space to run. These are false impressions.
Greyhounds have naturally sweet, mild dispositions, and while they love to run, they are sprinters rather than distance runners and are sufficiently exercised with a few daily laps around a fenced-in backyard.
Greyhounds do not make good watchdogs, but they are very good with children, get along well with other dogs (and usually cats as well), and are affectionate and loyal. They are intelligent, well-behaved dogs, usually housebroken in only a few days. A retired racing greyhound is a wonderful pet for almost anyone
