According to a recent study, attending a single-sex high school aids an adolescent’s physical growth. Cited as evidence is the finding that during the first two years of high school, the average boy in an all-boys school grew five inches, and the average girl in an all-girls school grew four inches.
The answer to which of the following questions is needed in order to evaluate the reasoning presented in the study?
(A) Why was it that the first two years of high school were chosen as the focus of the study?
(B) Did some of the boys in the study grow less than five inches while they were in high school?
(C) How much do the average male student and the average female student in a coeducational school grow during their first two years of high school?
(D) Did the girls in the study have as nutritious a diet as the boys during the time the study was being conducted?
(E) What was the average height of the boys and the average height of the girls upon entering high school?

In a study, we need to know the results of a control group to be able to tell if the new findings are better or worse.
In this case, to say that boys and girls have better growth in their heights in a single-sex school, we need evidence to support the position. To support this position, results of the growth in heights of boys and girls in a co-educational school are needed to compare the results.

Here the argument says- the average boy in an all-boys school grew five inches, and the average girl in an all-girls school grew four inches.
