If Presented with a Question from a Modern IQ Test

Multiple Choice

Regarding this comparison, which of the following statements is FALSE?

B) If your grandparents had been born today, their minds would not have been able to develop the abstract reasoning skills necessary to live in today's complex society.
C) Like your grandparents 50 years ago, people from other cultures do not automatically value the abstract reasoning prized in today's more complex society.
D) Our intelligence and the ways we measure it cannot easily be separated from the social and cultural context of particular places and times.
