question 116

Multiple Choice

• A) That her foetus will not be adversely affected and that studies have discovered that foetuses actually prefer their mothers' voices. So, she should talk as much as she likes.

• C) That she should play Mozart really loudly. Foetuses who listen to Mozart are more intelligent than those who do not listen to Mozart.
