QUESTION TEXT: All people prefer colors that they can…
QUESTION TYPE: Most Strongly Supported
FACTS:
- Everyone likes colors they can tell apart.
- Infants find it easier to distinguish bright colors, compared to subtle shades.
- A brightly colored kid’s toy sells better than a subtly shaded toy.
ANALYSIS: There’s an easy mistake here. Many people think “ah, the infants are only buying the toys they like!”
But of course, infants don’t buy toys. Parents buy toys, for infants. Since the infants prefer bright colors, that means parents are buying toys that infants prefer.
___________
- Primary and secondary colors aren’t even mentioned, so we have no idea which colors infants prefer.
- I’m sure an infant would prefer a dull colored, interesting toy to a brightly colored burlap sack (for example).
- This is the opposite of A. We have no idea what colors infants like, except that they like bright colors.
- CORRECT. This is all we know. We don’t know if infants like the toys they get, but they do prefer the bright colors of the toys they get.
- If this were true, then why do toymakers sell toys with subtle shades? Maybe the toymakers do studies, and maybe they don’t.
