Answer 1

a) Neither is right, because the brain actually exhibits 10 to 15% less activity when a person is focused compared to when they are unfocused

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context, both Jonah and Eli are wrong because the according to the scientist, when a person is focused the brain actually exhibits less activity and less spontaneous than when a person is unfocused. Thus when a person is idle and unfocused, the brain is more active.

Hence the correct option is (a).
