When hypnotized subjects are told that they are deaf and are then asked whether they can hear the
hypnotist, they reply, "No." Some theorists try to explain this result by arguing that the selves of hypnotized
subjects are dissociated into separate parts, and that the part that is deaf is dissociated from the part that
replies.
Which of the following challenges indicates the most serious weakness in the attempted explanation
described above?
(A) Why does the part that replies not answer, "Yes"?
(B) Why are the observed facts in need of any special explanation?
(C) Why do the subjects appear to accept the hypnotist's suggestion that they are deaf?
(D) Why do hypnotized subjects all respond the same way in the situation described?
(E) Why are the separate parts of the self the same for all subjects?


I answered C.
OAA

Theorist explain that deaf parts are dissociated from the part that replies.
This means the part that replies it is not deaf then why it reply as NO when it is asked
Whether they can hear?

So it should reply Yes.

That's why option A.
AS i think

We are not really bothered whether subjects appear to accept the hypnotist's suggestion or not.
We are only concerned with subject's response. Hope that helps.

Thus, if we can get reasons/cause why the subject doesn't answer "Yes", the argument can be easily weakened.

Force and mind are opposites; morality ends where a gun begins.

What is source of the question...
the answer of A is there in question...
and that the part that is deaf is dissociated from the part that replies.

question is ......is it really divided as said....

A holds and assumes it is infact divided into 2 parts as claimed....as either parts should have answered....but for that question says....the part associated with deaf answers and other part remains silent...why....and why no always.........becoz object has been hypnotized(that is process) A doesnt say there are not any division or so on ....
GMAT score is equally counted as your GPA and 78 clicks can change you life.
