process sounds better, making it easier to stay focused when absorbing other subjects, from
literature to tensor calculus. The musically adept are better able to concentrate on a biology lesson
despite the racket in the classroom or, a few years later, to finish a call with a client when a colleague
in the next cubicle starts screaming at an underling. They can attend to several things at once in the
mental scratch pad called working memory, an essential skill in this era of multitasking […]Sadly,
fewer schools are giving students an opportunity to learn an instrument.
In “Studies have shown”, the correct forms of the underlined verb are:
A) show - shew - shown;
