An experiment was done in which human subjects recognize a pattern within a matrix of abstract designs and then select another design that completes that pattern. Th results of the experiment were surprising. The lowest expenditure of energy in neurons in the brain was found in those subjects who performed most successfully n the experiments.

 

Which of the following hypotheses best accounts for the findings fo the experiment?

 

A. The neurons of the brains react less when a subject is trying to recognize patterns thtan when the subject is doing other kinds of reasoning.

B. Those who performed best in the eperiment experienced more satisfaction when working with abstract patterns than did those who performed less well.

C. People who are better at abstract pattern recognition have more energy-efficient neural connections.

D. The energy expenditure of the subjects' brain increases when a design that completes the initiallty recognized pattern is determined.

E. The task of completeing a given design is more capably perfomed by athletes, whose energy expenditure is lower when they are at rest.

请问前提是subject work with pattern recognition 和 pattern completion

结论是：the sunject who performed best showed the lowest expenditure of energy in neurons in the brain

答案c说：擅长 pattern recognition的人会 energy-efficient

现在有个疑问，把这个c取非，并不会导致结论不成立，因为假如 subject擅长 pattern completion，得出结论啊

Manhattan里说，Evaluate the argument这类题才是需要用Yes or No来找答案。
这题是Explain the discrepancy，只需要找到一个选项能使Premise更make sense即可。
原文说，没想到那些表现好的人花的精力却少。C选项说，这些人效率高嘛，自然耗费的精力少些。非常合理。
