Practice Reading: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #34594 Journal
Instructions ›
Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
According to a research published in the research journal ‘SOLP Two’, similar to an appearance in a reference book, the brain documents a word like 'whisk', linking it with concepts such as 'animate' and 'kitchen appliance'. "Moreover, the brain connects the word to one's own experience - how a whisk perceives, for instance, and that a spinning movement is interconnected to it," said the researchers. The study was orchestrated with 40 participants, and it was observed that when the study participants had to grasp an object while reading, their brain processed parts of the meaning of the words earlier than in previous researches in which words were evaluated without something being grasped.

Option 1: "Research in cognitive science suggesting our memory also documents physical sensations as part of the words stored."

Explanation: This option accurately reflects the main idea of the text, which discusses how the brain connects words to physical sensations and experiences. The phrase 'links it with concepts such as' indicates that the brain not only stores the word 'whisk' but also associates it with physical sensations and experiences, aligning perfectly with the content of the passage.

Option 2: "Research about how a word like whisk is document one of the above."

Explanation: This option is vague and grammatically incorrect, as it should say 'documented' instead of 'document.' Additionally, it does not clearly convey any specific point made in the text, making it irrelevant to the main idea.

Option 3: "No other study was as effective as the study with 40 participants."

Explanation: This statement introduces a comparison that is not supported by the text. The passage does not mention the effectiveness of other studies, nor does it claim that the study with 40 participants is the most effective, making this option misleading.

Option 4: "None of the above."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because Option 1 is indeed a valid point that suits the passage. Therefore, stating 'none of the above' is inaccurate, as there is a correct answer present.
