Each group had three members. Simons and Chabris asked the participants to count how many times the white team passed the ball.

Ques: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the body is the mirror of our feelings. If we are feeling great, we may give our body signals . If we look at someone else's body, we can often tell how they are feeling by their body signals. So reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication. In case you don't think that learning how to read and use body language is important, here are some numbers for you. 7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say, and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language. These non-verbal signals will help you a lot, but you still need to focus on what people are saying. If you focus too much on their body language signals, you and the person may feel uncomfortable. It is useful to be able to read people's body language, but it is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals too. Body language may be given several interpretations. Many signals have different meanings, depending on the person and the situation. Be sure of it when you are trying to read a body language signal. Question: We can infer that the writer will most probably talk about _ next. Options: A: what the wrong body language signals are B: examples of how to understand body language correctly. C: numbers about how many people wrongly use body language D: an analysis of why people wrongly understand body language
