A

2 Elizabeth from a music website says that if you have just got a small part of the song keeping playing in your head, listening to the whole song might help to get that earworm out of your head.
However, Srini, a teacher from a college, says it is not necessary to try too hard to get the earworm out of your head. Because this could make things worse.

4 “It’s nearly impossible to have two songs in your head at the same time,” music expert Kelly J. says. “Because it’s too much for our brains!”

5 It is because you might end up having an even harder time trying to get the earworm out of your head.
