A poster in an eye clinic advises people, who have received eye drops X that blur vision, refrain from driving until they can do so safely. In a Gov't initiated hospital study, however, subjects questioned immediately after they received such drops and underestimated the time necessary to regain their driving ability. This result indicates that many people with eye drops X will be unlikely to follow the advice.

Q:Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument above?

• Many people, if they know they will receive eye drops X, make arrangements beforehand for a friend or relative to drive them home A
• The subjects in the hospital study generally rated their abilities more conservatively than they would if they were outside the framework of a scientific experiment B
• Some people ask their doctors not to give them eye drops X that blur vision if they will have to drive to get home afterward C
• The subjects in the study were also questioned about the time necessary to regain abilities that do not play an important role in driving safely D

Activity levels of the green iguana vary in cycles that are repeated every 24 hours. It is logical to assume that alteration in the intensity of incident light is the stimulus that controls these daily biological rhythms. But there is much evidence to contradict this hypothesis.

• The temperature of the green iguana varies throughout the day, with the maximum occurring in the late afternoon and the minimum in the morning A
• While some animals, such as the rabbit, are much more active during the day, others, such as moles, show greater activity at night B
• When animals are transported from one time zone to another, their daily biological rhythms adjust in a matter of days to the periods of sunlight and darkness in the new zone C
• Even when exposed to constant light intensity around the clock, some iguanas display rates of activity that are much greater during daylight hours than at night. D
