   Why this is right

   This contradicts the first sentence. The detail it includes about speed-reading it totally irrelevant. It has nothing to do with why we're picking this answer. This is saying that there are people who have the ability to fully concentrate but aren't of above-average intelligence.

Another way of seeing how this is compatible is thinking that if we're given Ppl who are A are always B Does it contradict do say "many people who are B are not A"? No, we could say Ppl who are NBA stars are always athletic. It doesn't contradict to say that "many athletic people are not NBA stars".
