This difference between the two types of reminders suggests that ______
Field experiments have found that text-message reminders linked to a specific savings goal, such as saving for a particular purchase, increased participants' account balances more effectively than generic reminders that didn't reference a specific goal. Which choice most logically completes the text?
This difference between the two types of reminders suggests that ______
This difference between the two types of reminders suggests that ______
Answer and explanation
Answer: A: the specific content of a reminder, not just the act of being reminded, may influence how effectively it encourages saving behavior.
The passage's key comparison, goal-specific reminders outperforming generic ones, points to something about the reminder's specific content mattering, not simply the fact of being reminded at all, which is A. B overstates the finding into an absolute claim about incapacity the passage never makes. C generalizes the finding to a sweeping claim about the only effective method, well beyond the comparison actually described. D contradicts the passage's own framing, which says generic reminders were merely "less effective," not without any effect.
