What percentage of people mindwander during daily life, according to the material?

• A. 47%
• B. 25%
• C. 60%
• D. 5%

Answer: (A)

Mind-wandering is very common in daily life. The material states that about 47% of people mindwander during daily life, based on studies that sample moments and ask whether attention is on the task or off thinking about something else. This near-half figure reflects how often attention drifts away from the present task, which is why 47% best matches the source. The other options would understate or overstate how often drift occurs, so they don’t fit the material.
