Studies show that the most creative engineers get their best and most useful ideas only after doodling and jotting down what turn out to be outlandish ideas. Now that many engineers do their work with computers instead of on paper, however, doodling is becoming much less common, and some experts fear that the result will be fewer creative and useful engineering ideas. These experts argue that this undesirable consequence would be avoided if computer programs for engineering work included simulated notepads that would allow engineers to suspend their â€œseriousâ€

Boils down to C vs D. C is too extreme. + engineers might use the computer and not the paper even if paper is available to them.

negate D and the argument falls apart. The simulated notepad will not be sufficient.

(D) The physical act of working on paper is not essential in providing engineers with the benefits that can be gained by doodling.

This is the only option which clearly outlines the assumption; benefits from doodling on paper are easily ported to the computer.

Oh man, I am going to differ from the CR experts, but I think C seems more appropiate. The essay argues that it is necessary to have a program for doodling. The assumption is that there is no paper& pencil near by

D seems better. It is much more specific. C comes close second.

Initially selected C but D it is...

we are concerned about usage of computors Vs notepads. So D makes more sense.

Good CR
