In paragraph D,the writer says: “Prior to carying out the experiment, Milgram explained his idea to a group of 39 psychiatrists…” and ” the overwhelming consensus was that virtually all the teacher- subjects would refuse to obey the experimenter”, and that” most subjects would not go beyond 150 volts , and only “about one in 1000 would give the highest shock of 450 volts”

In paragraph E, the actual result is: ” over 60 percent of the teacher-subjects continued to obey Milgram up to the 450 volts limit”.
