Hello:
I'm having a tough time understanding why C is incorrect. You mentioned C is flawed because "It is quite possible that the different levels of impairment in speech, comprehension and reasoning were simply due to the varying amounts of oxygen required by each function."
To me, if different parts of the brain require different amounts of oxygen to function, that is proof that these areas of the brain [speech, comprehension, and reasoning] are distinct from one another. If they weren't district, as the author claims is now the case, they would all require the same amount of oxygen.
I don't have knowledge of the brain; however, it seems answer choice C is saying these three brain functions yield different levels of impairments, which shows they must be distinct (otherwise they would all be equally impaired).
Thank you for your help in advance!
