Hawkins et al. (2016) found that subjects with high fasting glucose levels made nearly twice as many errors as subjects with fasting glucose levels in the normal range. Therefore, choice D (high fasting glucose levels; twice as many errors) is the best option. Choices A and B are incorrect because low fasting glucose levels would not typically result in more errors, and one-quarter is too low of a multiplier to represent the significant difference found in the study. Choice C is incorrect because the study did not find that high fasting glucose levels resulted in four times as many errors.
