Wording of C

I do not understand the wording of the correct answer. If the sentence read "in which people draw conclusions about consciousness" I would have selected it. Can you explain the meaning of "in which people draw about consciousness" ?

@maos2910 thanks for pointing this out.

This is clearly a typo.

(C) should read, "It is cited as a case analogous to loss of consciousness in which people do not draw the same sort of conclusion that some people draw about consciousness."

We have updated the app accordingly.

Our apologies for the confusion here.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Great, thank you. It is written the same way in the printed materials.

This question is confusing to me. Why is it not B??

Thanks for your question, @Kyra

Answer choice B reads, "It is cited as a counterexample to a widely accepted belief about the nature of consciousness." This passage gives no indication that the relevant belief is "widely held." We only know that "some people conclude."

Thank you Michelle.

Hasn't been fixed yet. Still has words omitted.

I just read (C) and didn't see any words omitted? Let me know if I am missing something.

.* (there's a typoâ€”I meant to write a period instead of a question mark after the first sentence)

Ravi August 29, 2019

For clarity, I'm referring to a typo in my response, not a typo in the question. As noted above, I don't see any typos in (C) anymore.

This one makes no sense! How is it answer NOT (D).
