Heart attacks are most likely to occur on Mondays. The accepted explanation is that because Monday is the first day of the workweek, people feel more stress on Mondays than on other days. However, research shows that even unemployed retired people are more likely to have heart attacks on Mondays than on other days.
Which one of the following, if true, most helps to explain the increased likelihood that an unemployed retiree will have a heart attack on a Monday?
(A) Because they associate Monday with work, retired people are more likely to begin large projects on Mondays.
(B) Many retired people take up part-time jobs after they retire from their careers.
(C) People seldom change their dietary and other health habits after retirement.
(D) Stress is the major factor influencing the risk of heart attack.
(E) Unemployed retired people are even more likely to have heart attacks than are people who have jobs.

(A) Because they associate Monday with work, retired people are more likely to begin large projects on Mondays.
Looks Good. If they associate Monday with work and start their works on mondays they are likely to have stress on mondays as passage says and Quote:"....Monday is the first day of the workweek, people feel more stress on Mondays....". Let's keep this option.
(B) Many retired people take up part-time jobs after they retire from their careers.
We are only concerned with UNEMPLOYED retirees. ELIMINATE.
(C) People seldom change their dietary and other health habits after retirement.
A tempting Choice. But the Question statement mentions no relation between heart attacks and Dietary and other healthhabits. Let us not confuse our common knowledge with the problem statement. ELIMINATE.
(D) Stress is the major factor influencing the risk of heart attack.
It states one of the factors but say if the unemployed retirees have these characteristics on Monday. ELIMINATE.
(E) Unemployed retired people are even more likely to have heart attacks than are people who have jobs.
We are concerned with why it happens on monday more. This doesn't answer that question. Eliminate.
A is the answer.

What does start projects mean in OPTION A?
The sentence doesnt make sense because if the people are retire what projects are they undertaking.
Can someone clarify?
