B. THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE PASSAGE LEADS TO THE CONCLUSION...

49. b. The information provided in the passage leads to the conclusion that objects should be dispersedevenly around the room. This would “encourage the free flow of energy” and reduce clutter, becauseobjects would not be crammed together. Proper ventilation (choice a) may indeed improve the flow ofenergy, but that cannot be concluded from the passage. The passage does not indicate where squareobjects should be placed (choice c), whether walls should be kept bare (choice d), or whether light col-ored paints are best (choice e), so these choices are incorrect.
