In the question given below, a passage is provided. From the given options, choose the one that provides the inference that can be derived from the passage.
A study asked pilots to press a button every time they heard an alarm signifying a crisis during a flight simulation. In more than a third of cases, the volunteer pilots did not register the sound, which is rather alarming. The researchers running the investigation also conducted electroencephalograms (EEGs) on the pilots during the scenarios. In the brain, the EEG findings suggested, the demands of the intense flight scenario created a cognitive bottleneck that even an urgent auditory alarm could not breach.
1.Many pilots are incapable and they should be dismissed from duty.
2.The human brain can do wonders but not during a flight.
3.Flights are not free from human error.
4.Human beings are not designed to handle critical situations.
5.Flight simulations are unreliable and findings based on them should not be considered significant.
Correct Answer : 3
Solution :
Option c) can be inferred from the passage as the passage mentions that many pilots failed to listen to the alarm, which is a human error.
Option a) is eliminated as it irrationally escalates a mere human error to incapability (that too on a restricted sample space). Options b) and e) are eliminated as they are out of context and provide additional information not mentioned in the passage. Option d) is eliminated as it generalizes errors in the flight simulation in all critical situations.
Hence, the answer is option c).
