Practice one SAT question at a time

Questions come from the Bluebook question bank. Made by Iskaa303 (Iskander Madikhan).

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • Researchers Gwangsu Kim et al. sought to explore the relationship between the brain’s ability to process natural sounds and its ability to process music. 
  • They used an artificial deep neural network (DNN) that models how the brain processes auditory information.
  • The DNN had been trained to detect natural sounds (excluding music).
  • Finding: The DNN spontaneously developed neurons that responded to music but not to other auditory stimuli.
  • Conclusion: The brain’s ability to process music may arise as a by-product of natural sound processing.

The student wants to present the aim of the study. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
