Read the following paragraph:
"Music probably does something interesting," explains neuropsychologist Catherine Loveday of the University of Westminster. "It stimulates the brain in a very powerful way, because of our emotional connection with it." Unlike brain-games, playing an instrument is a rich and complex experience. This is because it's integrating information from senses like vision, hearing, and touch, along with fine movements. This can result in long-lasting changes in the brain. This can also be applicable in the business world.
Go through the following statements:
1. Playing a musical instrument is a unique experience involving vision, hearing and touch.
2. Instrumental musicians are far more creative than vocalists.
3. Playing brain games does not integrate various senses and movements as much as playing a musical instrument.
4. Integrating the five senses is critical in the business world.
Which of the above statements can definitely be interpreted based on the passage above?
Statement 1: This is a distorted inference drawn from the passage and hence is not a correct statement.
Statement 2: Since vocalists are not inside the scope of the paragraph, this is not a correct statement.
Statement 3: "Unlike brain games, playing an instrument is a rich and complex experience. This is because it's integrating information from senses like vision, hearing, and touch, along with fine movements."
From the above lines, it can be inferred that playing brain games does not integrate various senses and movements as much as playing a musical instrument.
Thus, this is a correct statement.
Statement 4: This is a distorted inference as it is nowhere mentioned or implied that the five senses are critical in the business world and hence is not a correct statement.
Thus, the correct option is C.
