readingWhich experimental result would best support Chen's position?
A
Creative people often pursue artistic careers
B
Some creativity tests have been developed
C
Participants who completed daily creativity exercises for 6 weeks scored 40% higher on divergent thinking tests than a control group, with brain scans showing increased activity in creativity-associated regions
D
Children often engage in imaginative play
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. Behavioral improvement + neural change proves creativity can be developed.
- Context clues: Chen claims creativity "can be trained" (not innate/fixed).
- Evidence evaluation: 40% improvement + brain changes prove training works.
- Verify: Brain scan evidence shows actual neural plasticity, not just test-taking improvement.
💡 Strategy: Claims about developing abilities are strengthened by neurological evidence.
