Zeus does not like liars.

Underline the sentence that shows Jane Goodall needed to be patient in her work.

24

In 1960, Jane Goodall ventured into the forests of
Tanzania to study wild chimpanzees. At just 26 years
old, she bravely entered their world armed with only a
notebook and binoculars. For countless hours, she sat
among the trees of Gombe National Park, patiently
observing the chimps until they accepted her presence.
Her most remarkable finding came when she spotted a
chimp using grass stems to "fish" for termites – the first
recorded instance of tool use by wild chimpanzees. This
finding changed the way scientists thought about both
animals and humans.
