How many winners were promised the additional prize by Dr. Zinchenko?

• A. Ten
• B. Four
• C. Eight
• D. Twelve

Answer: (D)

The question hinges on a specific detail the text gives about who would receive the extra prize. In the scene where Dr. Zinchenko speaks, he states that twelve winners will receive the additional prize. That explicit number makes twelve the correct choice, because it directly matches what the passage conveys.

Think of it this way: the author uses a precise count to show the prize isn’t limited to a single winner but will be shared among a group, which changes the stakes and pacing of the story. The other numbers—the options that aren’t twelve—aren’t supported by what the text actually says in that moment, so they don’t fit the detail being asked about.
