IELTS Reading inference Practice
Which of the following activities is presented as the most likely to cause cognitive hyperarousal?
Question type: multiple choice · Difficulty: beginner
- A. Watching a documentary film on a tablet
- B. Reading a book on an e-reader
- C. Having a text message argument with a friend
- D. Listening to calm music before bed
Explanation Preview
Paragraph D explains that interactive and emotionally charged activities are more arousing. It contrasts 'passively watching a calm nature documentary' with 'playing a fast-paced video game or having an emotionally charged conversation over a messaging app.' Therefore, having an argument via text message is the best example of an activity that causes cognitive hyperarousal.
