Studies of sentence comprehension have shown all of the following EXCEPT ______.

A) exact wording of a clause is preserved in memory while that clause is actively being processed
B) after a sentence has been processed,exact wording is discarded and only the general meaning is preserved in memory
C) we typically do not consciously notice ambiguities in sentences
D) we do not process exact wording in memory;we only process meaning

Studies of sentence comprehension indicate that while a clause is actively being processed, its exact wording is preserved in memory (A), and after processing, only the general meaning is retained (B). It's also noted that people often don't consciously notice ambiguities in sentences (C). However, choice D is incorrect because it contradicts A by stating that we do not process exact wording in memory at all, which is not true during the active processing phase.
