  4. All of the above
  5. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: B - According to the authors of The Bell Curve, the cognitive elite are those with high intelligence, high income, and a high position in society. The authors believed that these people were in this position because of their intelligence. The authors’ opinion does not take into account those with high intelligence that do not reach high positions in society due to other factors such as lack of opportunities, or those with lower intelligence who, through hard work, reach the highest ranks.
