Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oliver loves cookies, so he is most likely to reach for the cup with the most cookies, which is the one with three cookies. He is not likely to be influenced by the location of the cup or the color of the cup. There is no information to indicate that he would choose the cup into which he saw a cookie being placed first, so option B is not the best choice. Therefore, the best choice is option C.
