Question Stats:

91% (01:55) correct 8% (00:46) wrong based on 11 sessions
The local high school students have been clamoring for the freedom do design their own curricula. Allowing this would be as allowing three-year-olds to choose their own diets. These students have neither the maturity nor the experience to equal that of the professional educators now doing the job.

Which of the following statements, if true, would most strengthen the above argument?

A. high school students have less formal education than those who currently design the curricula.
B. Three-year-olds do not, if left to their own devices, choose healthful diets.
C. The local high school students are less intelligent than the average teenager.
D. Individualized curricula are more beneficial to high school students than are the standard curricula, which are rigid and unresponsive to their particular strengths and weaknesses.
E. The ability to design good curricula develops only after years of familiarity with educational life.

E as well.

You can arrive to E by using the contrapositive method:

In stimulus:
X -> Y
Lack of professional experience and maturity (are the reasons) -> inability to design a good curricula

Using contrapositive method:
Not Y -> Not X
Ability to design a good formula (follows from) -> professional experience and maturity.

Option A: Repitition of the premise and hence does not affect the argument

Option B:- Has no effect on the argument

Option C:- Has no effect on the argument

Option D:- Weakens the argument

Option E:- Strengthens the argument

Hence option E should be the answer. IMO - E

please post the OA when you post the question on such an important site. People are seriously studying on this site.
