The question asks which of the following would stimulate violent behavior and the the answer they picked says "no stimulation would occur," is that an error or am I just hopelessly confused?

Madeline,
You're right. The question stem seems to contain a misprint.
If you change the word "likely" to "unlikely", however, the given correct answer and its explanation make sense.
Here's the corrected question stem:
"According to the passage, which of the following would be UNlikely to stimulate violent behavior in a child playing a video game?"
We'll contact the publisher to let them know about the error.
