I would like to request an experts reply , as I noticed a causal claim, which is not mentioned in the answer choices of some Experts.
claim: highly comparative --> makes extreme effort seem not worthwhile in a large (500-person) race.
a) ???Desire matters, not comparison --> weakens claim
b) ???Least vs. most comparative = same effort --> weakens claim
c) Comparative people run the same speed in both races --> contradicts the claim
d) Strengthens. Adds the missing link: mindset --> perception --> effort --> outcome.
e) Background on volunteer selection
Can this higher order ( thinking in patterns ) backfire on test day ? thanks in advance

I am totally confused. Can "inclined" be used to describe someone as a character? Is it right to say: "you are inclined." or " I am the most inclined."? it should be" volunteers who were the most comparatively inclined 'to get the 1000 dollar price'......" why will there be a grammer mistake in such an official question?

The explanation posed in the passage is that the most comparatively inclined volunteers determined that extreme effort would not be worthwhile in the 500-competitor race. So yes, this does suggest an element of cause and effect: BEING comparatively-inclined is what caused (or perhaps allowed) those volunteers to make that determination.
But do we need to assume that the belief described in (D) was CAUSED by being comparatively inclined? Not necessarily. As long as there's a correlation between being comparatively inclined and having that belief, the logic holds up:
- The most comparatively inclined volunteers believed that they were significantly less likely to finish in the top 10 percent in the race against 500 than in the race against 50.
- That means that the most comparatively inclined volunteers believed that they were significantly less likely to win $1,000 in the race against 500 than in the race against 50.
- That explains why those volunteers determined that extreme effort would not be worthwhile in the 500-competitor race.
Sometimes it's critical to think about cause and effect. But if the cause and effect relationship cannot be determined, you don't want to assume that it's there.
Hopefully that answers your question!
