Answer 1: The writer asks you a question that she plans to answer in the text.

The text asks the question: "So which animal is the smartest?" in order to encourage us to think about it. The way the text is written indicates that the author will answer the question later on in a way that might surprise us. The details provided at the beginning are intended to show us how the answer might not be as straight-forward as we might think.

Answer 2: The purpose is to inform; it asks a question that will be answered by the text.

The text provides some details about chimps, but that is not its main purpose. Moreover, it provides this information in a humorous tone, but it is not intended to be only read for humour only. The author is not trying to convince us that humans are the smartest animals, as he gives us many examples of other animals with great cognitive capacity. The purpose of the text is to inform. It asks the question: "So which animal is the smartest?" in order to encourage us to think about it. The way the text is written indicates that the author will answer the question later on.
