Question: "Music probably does something interesting," explains neuropsychologist Catherine Loveday of the University of Westminster. "It stimulates the brain in a very powerful way, because of our emotional connection with it." Unlike brain-games, playing an instrument is a rich and complex experience. This is because it's integrating information from senses like vision, hearing, and touch, along with fine movements. This can result in long-lasting changes in the brain. This can also be applicable in the business world.
Go through the following statements:
Playing a musical instrument is a unique experience involving vision, hearing and touch.
Instrumental musicians are far more creative than vocalists.
Playing brain games does not integrate various senses and movements as much as playing a musical instrument.
Integrating the five senses is critical in the business world.
Which of the above statements can definitely be interpreted based on the passage above?
[1] is eliminated as we cannot state that playing a music instrument is a “unique” experience. The comparison with vocalists is inappropriate as there is no information given about them. Hence, [2] is rejected. [3] is clearly implied in the passage: “Unlike brain-games, playing an instrument is a rich and complex Experience”. [4] is incorrect as the passage only states that integrating the five senses can result in long-lasting changes in the brain which “can be applicable in the business world”. Nothing in the passage suggests that it is a “crucial” element. Hence, [4] is not valid.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
