The primary purpose of the passage is to
A. discredit the findings of a study due to flaws in the design of the study
the study is meant to be a demonstration of a finding of which we are not 100% sure. No discredit
B. point out a factor that may modify the extent of certain findings
yes. The study is not conclusive. This is the answer
C. show how results in a finding were unintentionally fabricated
out of scope
D. bolster an argument concerning the interaction of learning and caffeine intake
this is just part of the story not the main idea
E. expand on several oversights of a noteworthy study
out of scope
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
this is actually the main idea not the assumption we want to know
B. the researchers must be more forthcoming in their findings
nothing about that
C. this group displayed a uniform tendency
the group "sensitive" shows
Nevertheless, despite the fact that the study represents a random sampling— and thus any number of subjects can exhibit any number of reactions to caffeine—This means for the group that is NOT sensitive they have a uniform aspect of the symptoms
D. any positive effects will be negated by the effects exhibited by those with sensitivities to caffeine
too extreme
E. this effectiveness was fleeting and tended to all but disappear within a week of the study
not totally true. The effects could be last in the long-term
