As a result of Karl Lashley’s work in the field of anatomy, neuroscientists now believe that the learned information encoded in 86 billion of the neurons found in a human brain are primarily stored in merely four small parts of the brain, the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, and cerebellum.
"the learned information" is singular subject => are is incorrect => A,B,C out
D and E
(D) the learned information encoded in the 86 billion neurons found in the human brain is primarily stored in a mere four small parts of the brain
(E) the learned information encoded in 86 billion of the human brain’s neurons is primarily stored in merely four small parts of the brain
E is better, more clear and precise than D.
"in a mere four small parts of the brain" vs. "in merely] four small parts of the brain"
merely is correctly used to reflect the intended meaning, i.e only/ solely
a mere: "a" is incorrect since "four parts" is plural. also "mere" (means small/ not large) distorts the meaning.
"the 86 billion neurons found in the human brain" vs. "86 billion of the human brain’s neurons "
I think "the" here is not completely accurate. we dont need to define this 86 billion neurons different from other "86 billion neurons".
"neurons found in the human brain" or "the human brain’s neurons" both are ok
Answer: E

(A) 86 billion of the neurons found in a human brain are primarily stored in merely
Need "The" before 86, information is singular
(B) 86 billion of the human brain’s neurons are primarily stored in a mere
Same mistakes as A
(C) the 86 billion neurons found in human brains are primarily stored in merely
Information is singular
(D) the 86 billion neurons found in the human brain is primarily stored in a mere
Correct
(E) 86 billion of the human brain’s neurons is primarily stored in merely
worse than A

Sentence: As a result of Karl Lashley’s work in the field of anatomy, neuroscientists now believe that the learned information encoded in 86 billion of the neurons found in a human brain are primarily stored in merely four small parts of the brain, the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, and cerebellum.
(A) 86 billion of the neurons found in a human brain are primarily stored in merely => here the singular subject learned information has plural verb are which is wrong so not the ans
(B) 86 billion of the human brain’s neurons are primarily stored in a mere => again same as above
(C) the 86 billion neurons found in human brains are primarily stored in merely => again same as above
(D) the 86 billion neurons found in the human brain is primarily stored in a mere => this is our ans correct verb 'is' is getting used for learned information.
(E) 86 billion of the human brain’s neurons is primarily stored in merely => this is very awkward construnction to refer to neurons. also correct uses is mere as we are giving more info about the small parts. so this is not the ans
hence ans is D
