A study by Phelps, Doherty-Sneddon, and Warnock concluded that children who avoid eye contact while considering their responses to questions are more likely to answer correctly than children who maintain eye contact.
Which of the following statements will strengthen the author’s argument?
Most children master maintaining eye-contact when they are three-months old.
While maintaining eye-contact children might interpret verbal cues and get the right answer.
Children fear the class teacher, so they avoid eye contact.
Looking at faces is mentally demanding, so when we are trying to concentrate it’s unhelpful to look at faces.
The main data in the passage is that children who avoid eye contact while answering a question are more likely to come up with the right answer. Option (d) states that by maintaining eye contact a child begins to process information, or cues from the facial expressions, which can distract the child from thinking about the question. Option (a) and (c) bring in a new element to the data. Option (b) weakens the data.
Hence, the correct answer is Option d.
