Solution

In Harry Harlow's 1971 study on rhesus monkeys, the monkeys who were raised in isolation from their mothers exhibited several distinct characteristics.

  1. The monkeys did not mate: This is true. The monkeys raised in isolation often exhibited abnormal sexual behaviors and had difficulty mating.

  2. The females who were artificially inseminated became abusive mothers: This is also true. The female monkeys raised in isolation often became neglectful or abusive mothers when they were artificially inseminated and had offspring.

  3. The monkeys were fearful and easily frightened: This is true. The monkeys raised in isolation were often more fearful and easily frightened than monkeys raised in normal social conditions.

  4. There were food similarities among the monkeys: This statement is not directly related to Harlow's study. The study did not focus on the food preferences or similarities among the monkeys.

So, the correct answers are: The monkeys did not mate, the females who were artificially inseminated became abusive mothers, and the monkeys were fearful and easily frightened.
