Passage A(295 more words not shown)

Passage B(200 more words not shown)

Which one of the following(11 more words not shown)

Reading the passage

The answer must pass two checks: B explicitly mentions it, and A does not. B's distinctive details include stem cells, nuclei, and the proteins that give muscles strength. A instead emphasizes nerve-cell recruitment and confidence.

Working the answers

  • A

    A discusses the muscles' condition when retraining begins, including the possibility of retaining greater force capacity despite seeming to start from the same place. This is not exclusive to B.

  • B

    Both discuss how muscles or the body change in response to exercise. The phrase is too broad to separate them.

  • C

    Percentages of recruited muscle fibers appear in A, not B.

  • D

    A explicitly comments on the scarcity of scientific discussions. This reverses the required comparison.

  • E
    Correct

    B explains that large muscle cells need multiple nuclei to make the large amounts of proteins responsible for muscle strength. A mentions neither those proteins nor their production.
