IELTS Reading Question

I'm preparing for the IELTS reading test. On my previous exercise, I've met a problem about the passage's detail question. Question no. 35, in the second picture, asks about a detail in paragraph C, which is shown by the first picture (the upper section of it) and the second picture (the lower section of it).
In the second picture, it says that hypnosis can boost what mental imagery does. So my answer for question no.35 is D, however the true answer is A. Could you please explain why it is A? (The book, Official IELTS Practice Materials, does not explain this)

  • It is a difficult question, I admit.
  • Notice that it asks 'what the experiment was designed to show, not what its results showed (or might have showed—the two experimenters differ in their opinions).

Oh! Thank you very much! Seems that the phrase "To find out" is really important, saying that the purpose of this experiment is above paragraph C. Your answer is very clear and relevant.
