   magazine amused all the reporters). What did their results indicate?

   b) They showed stronger garden-path effects for implausible sentences.
   c) They showed equal-sized garden-path effects for plausible and implausible sentences.
   d) They failed to replicate the comprehension difficulties of garden-path sentences.
