alleryWhich finding supports general intelligence over Gardner's view?
AAbilities correlate highly
BAbilities show no overlap
CAbilities depend on language
DAbilities vanish with age
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Abilities correlate highly
1. Recall the fact: Tests find abilities correlate highly, as general intelligence predicts.
2. The option "Abilities correlate highly" matches it.
3. Why the others fail: Gardner's theory predicts low correlations, so overlap is evidence against it.
4. Check the stem wording against the fact: only one option satisfies both.
