Humans have the ability to construct worlds entirely in their minds, which don’t exist in the physical world. So far as we know, no other species possesses this ability. This skill is so important that we have different words to refer to its different flavors, such as imagination, invention and innovation.

Based on the above passage, which one of the following is TRUE?

  • A.No species possess the ability to construct worlds in their minds.
  • B.The terms imagination, invention and innovation refer to unrelated skills.
  • C.We do not know of any species other than humans who possess the ability to construct mental worlds.
  • D.Imagination, invention and innovation are unrelated to the ability to construct mental worlds.

Answer: C

The statement that follows is We do not know of any species other than humans who possess the ability to construct mental worlds.

The passage says 'So far as we know, no other species possesses this ability'. That is a claim about our knowledge, which this option restates exactly.

'No species possess the ability' contradicts the passage, which says humans have it, and also drops the 'so far as we know'. The passage calls imagination, invention and innovation different flavours of the same skill, so they are neither unrelated to one another nor unrelated to constructing mental worlds; that rules out the last two options.
