A study of 200 comedy fiction readers revealed the impact of Wodehouse

A study of 200 comedy fiction readers revealed the impact of Wodehouse’s’ novels on human emotions. Each of the 200 participants was asked to read at least one novel per day over the course of 12 days. At the end of the experiment, all of the readers filled out a survey assessing their emotional state. It was found from the survey that some 10 students who read the greatest number of novels reported lower stress levels and higher energy levels. Also, most of the 20 students who read the fewest number of novels revealed below-average levels of emotional comfort.

Which of the following must be true based on the evidence presented above?


A: A majority of the participants lowered stress levels and reported higher emotional ease.

B: During each week of the experiment, the participants spent at least 2 hours less per day on their academic work as a result of reading.

C: Reading Wodehouse’s novels for at least 2 hours per day improves the emotional well-being of the majority of young adults.

D: More than 8 participants read at least 14 novels during the course of the experiment.

E: At least some of the students participated in the study in order to gain free access to Wodehouse’s novels.
