Pickering and Traxler (1998) gave some participants garden-path sentences in which both interpretations made sense (e.g., As the woman edited the magazine amused all the reporters)
 
  and gave other participants
   garden-path sentences in which only one interpretation really made sense (e.g., As the woman sailed the
   magazine amused all the reporters). What did their results indicate?
   a) They showed stronger garden-path effects for plausible sentences.
   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.
