All people prefer colors that they can distinguish easily to colors that they have difficulty distinguishing. Infants can easily distinguish bright colors but, unlike adults, have difficulty distinguishing subtle shades. A brightly colored toy for infants sells better than the same toy in subtle shades at the same price.

Summary
All people prefer colors that they can easily distinguish. Infants can easily distinguish bright colors, but have difficulty distinguishing subtle shades. Brightly colored toys for infants sell better than toys in subtle shades at the same price.

Strongly Supported Conclusions
Infant toy sales reflect the preferences of infants.

A
Infants prefer bright primary colors to bright secondary colors.
This answer is unsupported. We don’t know from the stimulus whether infants are able to distinguish between primary and secondary colors. We only know that infants are able to distinguish between bright and subtle colors.
B
Color is the most important factor in determining which toys an infant will prefer to play with.
This answer is unsupported. To say that color is the “most important factor” is too strong. Color is an important factor for infants, but we don’t have enough information to conclude that it is the most important factor.
C
Individual infants do not have strong preferences for one particular bright color over other bright colors.
This answer is unsupported. The stimulus addresses the preferences of infants generally. We don’t know about any individual infant’s preferences from the stimulus.
D
The sales of toys for infants reflect the preferences of infants in at least one respect.
This answer is strongly supported. We know that infants prefer bright colors and we know that brightly colored toys sell better. Therefore, it’s likely that this preference for bright colors affects the toy sales for infants.
E
Toy makers study infants to determine what colors the infants can distinguish easily.
This answer is unsupported. Nothing in the stimulus addresses the toy maker’s perspective.
