In Freud’s system of psychoanalysis, the human brain consists of three parts: the id, which is the part driven by instincts; the super-ego, which is the moral center of the brain; and the ego, which is the pragmatic or realistic part. Unlike the neurosciences, which categorize the brain into somatic units that correspond to physical areas in the brain, the Freudian system divides the brain into categories that exist solely at the symbolic or conceptual level.
The considerations above best serve as part of an argument that
(A) Somatic categories are more scientifically credible than symbolic categories.
(B) The Freudian system of psychoanalysis is not a neuroscience.
(C) Unlike Freud, neuroscientists do not believe that the brain has a somatic moral center
(D) The neurosciences reject Freud’s categories as baseless.
(E) Science in Freud’s time was not developed enough to identify the brain’s somatic structure.

A. Nope, the passage doesn't compare somatic and symbolic categories or say one is better than the other.
B. Yup, the passage talks about how Freud's system divides the brain into symbolic categories, which is different from the way neuroscientists categorize the brain.C. Not really mentioned in the passage, so we can't say for sure.
D. No, the passage doesn't say that neuroscientists reject Freud's categories.
E. Maybe, but it's not directly stated. The passage does suggest that Freud's system was based on symbolic categories rather than somatic ones, which might be because science at the time didn't know enough about the brain's physical structure.

The passage compares the two types of theories. Does not mentions any one as correct or incorrect or regard any type higher than the other.simply compares the structure.
