PrepTest 114

Incorrect. This answer deals with being drunk—a condition that definitely negatively affects your ability to drive. And it notes that people aren't a good judge of whether they're too drunk to drive. This answer illustrates the same principle as the stimulus, so it's incorrect. (Remember—it's a Bizarro question.)

Correct. Argument or Facts:
Facts

Question Type:
Bizarro Illustration (Principle)

Stimulus Summary:
Sleep deprivation in drivers - Slower responses, reduced ability to concentrate
Most people can't tell when they're about to fall asleep

Answer Anticipation:
There are a few types of Illustration (Principle) questions, and this one is—unfortunately—the hardest. It tells us to find an answer that illustrates the same principle as the stimulus. As such, we need to understand the stimulus, abstract a principle out of it, and then find an answer that presents a situation that conforms to that same principle!

Let's start with understanding the stimulus. It's about two ideas, both related to sleep deprivation. First, drivers are negatively affected by it. Second, they can't tell when they're suffering from it. Putting those two together, and removing the specific content of the stimulus, we can say the principle is something along the lines of:
People sometimes can't tell when they're suffering from a condition that has negative effects on their ability to function

Answer Explanation:
This answer doesn't discuss a condition that has a negative effect on people, nor does it state that the students aren't aware that they're suffering from "math-itis."

Key Takeaway:
Make sure to take a second to figure out which version of a Illustration (Principle) question you're dealing with when you come across this question stem! There are subtle differences in what you'll need to do.

Incorrect. This answer has people who are not able to tell if their abilities have been impaired ("whether they should keep working") after exposure to fumes, so it illustrates the same principle as the stimulus.

Incorrect. This answer features blood donors who aren't good judges of whether their ability to walk has been impaired, so this illustrates the same principle as the stimulus.

Incorrect. This answer features people who suffer from a condition that prevents them from being able to tell if they're still suffering from the condition to a level that requires medication—i.e., whether their abilities are impaired. Thus, this answer illustrates the same principle as the stimulus.
