A: Jason mentions the purpose of the
research when he says, ‘They were investigating
whether people actually made more friends by
playing games’, and there is no disagreement about
this issue; C, the finding that ‘players develop
empathy for each other and bond over games’ is
contrary to the common opinion that games are
‘solitary’, but this is not a source of disagreement
between the students.
24 C patients and their families = better for the
children, but also better for the parents. Alya says,
‘That’s what I like about this’ and Jason agrees,
adding ‘it reduces the stress for everybody’.
Distraction
A: Jason mentions that the games ‘were
simple ones on handheld devices’, but doesn’t
express an opinion about this; B: Jason suggests
that the results need to be confirmed by further
research.
25 A reliable evidence = supplied valid proof
Distraction
B: Jason says that people ‘would
probably like to know about that’, which implies no
widespread publicity yet; C: Jason ‘the finding just
reinforced what’s been shown in earlier studies,’ but
doesn’t mention academic criticism of this study.
26 F not a surprise = games are obviously going to
improve . . . I guess that’s predictable
Distraction
C: the USA is mentioned, but this was
only where the research was conducted.
27 B contradicts other research = there are also studies
showing a link between electronic screens and eye
damage
Distraction
D: because Alya describes the finding
as ‘controversial’, though she and Jason don’t
personally challenge it.
28 D not believable = I doubt that’s really true . . .
Seems highly unlikely to me
Distraction
A: a ‘company’ is mentioned twice,
but not any reason why it should be; the research
finding would seem to be a good thing for this
business, so ‘disappoint’ is not applicable here.
29 g will become increasingly important = going to be
more and more significant as the population ages
Distraction
A: because Jason mentions game
manufacturers, but says this is ‘good news’ for
them.
30 E supported by various studies = And there’s . . .
previous research to back that up, too
Distraction
A: ‘the workplace’ is mentioned, but only
in a positive context.
