Set 4: Command of Evidence
Explanation
PASSAGE
The human brain contains roughly 86 billion neurons, each connected to thousands of others. Neuroscientists compare this network to the internet, where information travels through interconnected nodes. However, unlike the internet, the brain can rewire its connections through learning.
What key difference between the brain and the internet does the text highlight?
Detailed Explanation
This question requires you to identify evidence that supports a claim. The text says 'unlike the internet, the brain can rewire its connections through learning.' This is structural change (neuroplasticity). The best evidence directly and explicitly supports the stated claim without requiring assumptions. Match specific textual details or data points to the claim being made. The correct answer provides clear, direct support. Strong evidence directly addresses the claim without requiring additional interpretation. When evaluating options, look for quotes or data that explicitly support the statement. Weak evidence may be tangentially related but doesn't provide direct proof.
Key Evidence:
• "brain can rewire its connections through learning"
Why others are wrong: A (Not stated.), B (This option is incorrect.), C (Speed is not mentioned.).
