While daily coffee consumption may aid in the process of forming a greater number of short-term memories and increase the likelihood that these memories will be stored in long-term memory, the study glosses over an important fact.


The primary purpose of the passage is to

A. discredit the findings of a study due to flaws in the design of the study
B. point out a factor that may modify the extent of certain findings Correct
C. show how results in a finding were unintentionally fabricated
D. bolster an argument concerning the interaction of learning and caffeine intake
E. expand on several oversights of a noteworthy study


remember that the main point of the passage usually is in the very first sentences of the same. However, not always. It could be in the middle (such in this case) or in the end of the same passage.

The second one is tough. We are looking for what the author ASSUMES about those which has NOT sensitivity to caffeine

Regarding coffee’s effectiveness on memory amongst those who do not display “sensitivities to caffeine,” the author assumes that

A. more rigorous analysis in the form of follow-up studies must be conducted

No more rigorous analysis in the follow-up studies is suggested. We only know we do need further investigations of the phenomenon

B. the researchers must be more forthcoming in their findings

Nothing of this I read into the passage

C. this group displayed a uniform tendency

Quote:

Which means that those who do NOT have that sensitivity must have a uniform behave. Otherwise, the scenario falls apart. We do not know more which is which and cannot compare those with sensitivity to those without

D. any positive effects will be negated by the effects exhibited by those with sensitivities to caffeine

No negation is mentioned in the two groups

E. this effectiveness was fleeting and tended to all but disappear within a week of the study

We do have also long-lasting effects.


Select the sentence in which the author expresses an opinion toward the results of the study.

Often but NOT always the opinion and the main idea of the author are the same, actually.

Hope this helps.
