PrepTest 47, Section 2, Question 23
Columnist: Neuroscientists have found that states of profound creativity are accompanied by an increase of theta brain waves, which occur in many regions of the brain, including the hippocampus. They also found that listening to music increases theta waves dramatically. Thus, one can attain a state of profound creativity merely by listening to a tape of recorded music.

The columnist's reasoning is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it
takes for granted that there is a causal connection between the hippocampus and being in a state of profound creativity
fails to consider that music is not necessary for one to be in a state of profound creativity
does not rule out the possibility that listening to music by means other than a tape recording also increases theta waves
ignores the possibility that an increase in theta waves may not always be accompanied by a state of profound creativity
provides insufficient reasons to believe that people who are not in states of profound creativity have low levels of theta brain waves
