Boil it down:
An experiment.
People performing well => Least energy expenditure
Resolve the paradox: From an athletic point of view, good performers are likely to expend more energy.
Which of the following hypotheses best accounts for the findings of the experiment?
(A) The neurons of the brain react less when a subject is trying to recognize patterns than when the subject is doing other kinds of reasoning – Irrelevant comparison
(B) Those who performed best in the experiment experienced more satisfaction when working with abstract patterns than did those who performed less well – Trap – we don’t know correlation of satisfaction & energy
(C) People who are better at abstract pattern recognition have more energy-efficient neural connections – Correct answer – provides a specific reason that resolves the paradox
(D) The energy expenditure of the subjects brains increases when a design that completes the initially recognized pattern is determined – Irrelevant
(E) The task of completing a given design is more capably performed by athletes, whose energy expenditure is lower when they are at rest – Irrelevant
