A) and areas responsible for sensory and motor processing is that perhaps the operations of cognition are
B) and areas responsible for sensory and motor processing are that perhaps the operations of cognition are
C) and areas responsible for sensory and motor processing is that perhaps the operations of cognition is
D) with areas responsible for sensory and motor processing are that perhaps the operations of cognition are
E) with areas responsible for sensory and motor processing is that perhaps the operations of cognition are
In my opinion the answer is A.
The problem statement primarily tests subject-verb agreement. If you cut the fluff, you will be able to answer this question easily.
The implication
of the overlap between areas of the brain responsible for cognition and areas responsible for sensory and motor processing is that perhaps the operations
of cognition are implemented,
at least in part, through the means of sensory and motor structures.
Therefore, we get-
The implication is that the operations are implemented.
Now, the implication is singular. Hence, the verb must be 'is' and not 'are'. Eliminate Option B, D.
'operations' are plural. Hence, the verb must be 'are' and not 'is'. Eliminate C.
E is idiomatically incorrect. The correct comparison idiom is 'between X and Y'.
In option E, the comparison used is- the overlap between areas
of brain responsible for cognition with areas
responsible for sensory...
Hence, the correct answer is
A.
