Question

Which detail in the section "The Power Of Critical Thinking" BEST supports the conclusion that people with critical-thinking skills are less likely to think ghosts are real?
A. She wondered if people with stronger critical-thinking skills might be less likely to believe in the paranormal. So she and her mentor, psychologist Philip Tyson, recruited 687 students for a study about their paranormal beliefs.

B. The students majored in a wide range of different fields. Each was asked how strongly he or she agreed with statements such as, "It is possible to communicate with the dead." Or, "Your mind or soul can leave your body and travel."

C. Students with higher grades tended to have lower levels of paranormal beliefs, this study found. And students in the physical sciences, engineering or math tended not to believe as strongly as those studying the arts.

D. Even among science students and working scientists, though, paranormal beliefs persist. Andrews and Tyson think that's a problem. If you can't judge whether a ghost story or spooky experience is real or not, you may also get fooled by advertisements, bogus medical cures or fake news, says Tyson
