Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Comprehenders first process the embedded supposition, or the idea being negated, and then process the negation itself. This allows for a more efficient and accurate understanding of the negative statement. Choice A is incorrect because it suggests that the negation is processed twice, which is not necessary. Choice B is incorrect because it suggests that the negation is processed before the embedded supposition, which can lead to confusion or misunderstanding. Choice D is incorrect because it suggests that the two components are processed simultaneously, which is unlikely to be the case.
