Statement: "Music improves memory in children."Assumption:
Correct answer: A. Sound stimulates brain activity
- A. Sound stimulates brain activity
- B. All kids are singers
- C. Music is therapy
- D. Instruments are costly
Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: 'Sound stimulates brain activity.' This assumption underpins the statement by suggesting that music, as a form of sound, may enhance cognitive functions, such as memory. Option B is incorrect because not all children need to be singers for music to improve memory. Option C, while true about music's therapeutic potential, does not directly relate to memory improvement. Option D is irrelevant to the statement, as the cost of instruments does not impact the claim regarding memory enhancement.

About Critical Thinking
Critical thinking examines how conclusions follow from evidence, including claims, assumptions, arguments, inferences and relevant facts.
