Hello 7Sage!

I have problems for this question.

The question stem mentions the preference in Passage A:

Preference for coherence connecting variety, not too simple (pure tone) = not interesting; not too complex = bad

so i'm looking for some kind of in the middle of the spectrum

I choose Answer (A): Preference for white noice when sleeping : not totally silence (pure tone) ; not too loud (too complex)

Answer (B): not knowing why it's matching the preference analogy?

Thanks for your help!

    @knochin965 Specifically, it mentions the preference as described in paragraph 1 of passage A. If you hone in on the last sentence - "We prefer some sort of coherence, a principle that connects the various sounds and makes them comprehensible" - it becomes more clear why B is the correct answer. Moviegoers having a preference for movies with clear and easy to follow plots would seem to be analogous to the above stated preference for sounds that are coherent and easier to understand.

    I don't think A fits the description because, while a preference for falling asleep to white noise might make one comfortable, it really doesn't lend itself to the principle of making something more comprehensible.

    Hope this helps...
