It says that scientists typically do their most creative work before they reach the age of forty.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>It is commonly thought that this happens because aging by itself brings about a loss of creative capacity.<\/td><td>This statement gives us the common explanation for why scientists do their most creative work before forty. The common belief is that since aging by itself results in a decrease in creative capacity, scientists typically do their best work before the age of forty.So, this statement gives us an opinion. It is a common belief that aging by itself brings about a loss of creative capacity.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>However, studies show that <strong>of scientists who produce highly creative work beyond the age of forty, a disproportionately large number entered their field at an older age than is usual<\/strong>.<\/td><td>This statement starts with the contrast word \u2018however\u2019, which signals that the content of the statement is going to contradict the opinion stated in the previous sentence.\u2018Studies show\u2019 \u2013 so this statement is a fact, since anything that is the result of a study gives us some factual information. According to the studies that the author refers to, a large number of scientists who do produce highly creative work after the age of forty entered their field at an age that is older than the usual age at which scientists enter their fields.Note that this fact strongly indicates a contrast to the opinion stated in the previous sentence. According to common belief, aging by itself brings about a loss in creativity. But the findings of the studies show that the age at which a scientist enters his or her field could be a factor in the amount of creative work done by a scientist.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Since by the age of forty the large majority of scientists have been working in their field for at least fifteen years, the studies&#8217; finding strongly suggests that the real reason why scientists over forty rarely produce highly creative work is not that they have aged but rather that <strong>scientists over forty have generally spent too long in their field.<\/strong><\/td><td>This sentence starts with \u2018since\u2019, so it\u2019s giving us a &nbsp;reason and a conclusion . \u2018Since\u2019 gives the reason and the latter half of the sentence gives the conclusion. Here, the author says that the large majority of scientists have been in their field for at least fifteen years by the time they reach forty. This has led to something: it has led to a loss of their creativity because they have been in their field for too long.So, the author\u2019s conclusion here is that aging is not responsible for a loss of creativity in scientists. Rather, the reason for their loss of creativity is that they have spent too long working in their field. This part is the author\u2019s conclusion. The author directly contradicts the common belief by saying that \u2018the real reason\u2019 is not the commonly believed one.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Loved the solution? <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/ft-gmat\/?channel=blogsin_article&amp;utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=in_article&amp;utm_campaign=free_trial&amp;utm_content=gmat&amp;utm_term=blogs_in_article_ctrl_gmat_test_date\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">Take a free trial<\/a>&nbsp;to&nbsp;get unlimited access to concept files, live sessions, and practice questions.&nbsp;For any strategic advice for GMAT or MBA Admissions, write to us at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:acethegmat@e-gmat.com\">acethegmat@e-gmat.com<\/a>.

Also, the argument does not challenge the accuracy of this statement.
