Question

sat #1 reading & writing - part 2 maria a. g. witek and her colleagues played chords to musicians and non - musicians, asking them to rate their enjoyment of each. both groups preferred moderate - complexity chords over the simplest or the most complex chords. the researchers represented these preferences graphically as an arch, peaking at ______ in the middle and sloping down to the right and left. which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase? a a crown b an apex c a nadir d an excess

Explanation:

The text describes a graph that peaks in the middle. "Apex" means the top or highest point, which is appropriate for the peak of the graph. "Crown" is more related to a royal head - piece or top of a tree in a non - graph context. "Nadir" is the lowest point. "Excess" means an amount that is more than necessary.

Answer:

B. an apex
