#27 - Must Be True

Hi,
Can someone please explain this one. How is it not A ? I though the objective study was to determine internal evidence ? Also where can we find facts to support this ?


Thanks

Hello John,

As per "Scientists . . . do not concern themselves with how a phenomenon feels from the inside; instead of investigating private evidence perceivable only to a particular individual, scientists pursue hard data--such as the study of how nerves transmit impulses to the brain--which is externally observable and can be described without reference to any particular point of view", "subjective" would fit answer A, about dreams (which are "private evidence perceivable only to a particular individual"), and "objective" would fit answer D, "analyzing the amount of a certain chemical in subjects’ bloodstreams", which is "hard data . . . which is externally observable ".

Hope this helps,
David
