StrengthenDiff: Easy
Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: People in a study were right more often than not about whether someone was staring at their back, which supposedly proves we have a 'sixth sense.'
Conclusion: Some individuals possess a 'sixth sense' that allows them to perceive when they are being watched by others.
Reasoning: In a controlled study, participants correctly identified whether someone was looking at them through a window 60 percent of the time.
Analysis: A 60% success rate is better than a 50/50 coin flip, but it's not definitive proof of a supernatural sense without more context. To strengthen this, we need to rule out other ways the subjects could have known, such as hearing the observer move or seeing a reflection. Look for an answer that solidifies the study's methodology or confirms that 60% is statistically significant enough to rule out pure luck.

Unlock Full Passage3.Which one of the following, if true, most supports the conclusion drawn from the study mentioned above?
Correct Answer
C
C shows that the same above-chance results occur when the watcher is in another room and views via a monitor, reducing the likelihood that ordinary sensory cues explain the effect. That supports the claim of an independent sense.
