Babies can remember sounds they heard in the womb more than a year after birth, as a study by Leicester University has found. The research demonstrated that one-year-old babies recognize music they were exposed to up to three months before birth. Previously, experts thought that babies could only remember anything for a month or two. The study was called The Child Of Our Time, and involved a small group of mothers playing a single piece of music to their babies for the last three months before birth. The music was chosen by the mother and included classical, pop and reggae.
More than a year later, 11 of the babies were tested and showed a preference for the selected music compared with very similar pieces of music they had not heard before. The baby's preference was demonstrated by the amount of time spent looking towards the source of the music. A control group of children tested with the same pieces of music showed no preference for a particular piece.
It is possible to infer from the passage that
----.
A) the music selections should have been more varied

Flightless birds evolved from flying ancestors; there are about forty species in existence today. The best-known flightless birds are the ostrich, emu, cassowary, rhea and penguins. Most flightless birds evolved in the absence of predators, on islands, and lost the power of flight because they had few enemies. A notable exception, the ostrich, which lives in the African savannas, has claws on its feet to use as a weapon against predators. Two key differences between flying and flightless birds are the smaller wing bones of flightless birds and the absent (or greatly reduced) keel on their breastbone. The keel anchors muscles needed for wing movement. Flightless birds also have more feathers than flying birds.
