Let's say you hear a series of sentences derogatory to Britney Spears, such as "Britney Spears can't hit any high notes," and then are asked to rate how interesting each sentence is. You then hear the sentence, "Britney Spears can't hit any high notes" again. What effect can this sort of priming have?

A) It will generally, over time, make you averse to Britney Spears.
B) It will generally lead you to conclude the opposite-that is, that Britney Spears can hit high notes.
C) It will generally lead you to accept the sentence as being true.
D) It will generally produce memory errors at a rate higher than average.
