The main purpose of this passage is to suggest that jig is

C

Explanation:

Determining the main purpose comes from considering the passage as a whole. The first paragraph begins by noting that the idea of the brain as an information processor is generally accepted by neuroscientists. The author then presents Searle as an enemy of this position and explains Searle's belief that human thought is more than information processing. The second paragraph questions Searle's position, and the third asserts that the brain is an information processor, refuting Searle's argument.

A The author uses the idea of a mechanical simulation of a stomach as a metaphor for a computer's simulation of thought; this is not a proposal for an experiment.

B The author analyzes Searle's position, but no function is analyzed.

C Correct. The author explains Searle's argument in order to refute it.

D The author points out a weakness in Searle's thinking, but not a contradiction.

E The simulation of a process is included as a metaphor, but it is not essential to the passage.

The correct answer is C.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
