A. Few elementary schools students are likely to create superior compositions.
This diesn't have any impact on the argument that the appreciation for artisits would go up therefore out
B. Traditional education facilitates the appreciation of visual art, but not the recognition of the artistic intentions of artists.
THis quotes that even if the reccomendations are carried out the proposal might not be accepted by the teachers therefore out
C. More people report that they enjoy music than report that they enjoy visual art.
This is in opposite of the argument and isn't the sentence we are looking for therefore out
D. Some composers have had little formal instruction in composition.
This is a reason for non lesser appreciation for music but in iself doesn't have anything to showcase it's impact on the argument therefore out
E. The recommendation is based on the results of a controlled longitudinal study conducted in three schools within a single city.
This might be quite reperesentative of the situation therefore we cannot rule out the possibility , however we are not looking for the authenticity of the argument therefore out
Therefore IMO B

I did not choose (B) because the passage says (pay attention to the word consequently):
Consequently, in contrast to the situation for visual art, most people as adults do not recognize the artistic intentions of composers.
So, I thought that because of visual art education, adult people recognize the artistic intention of visual art (visual art education -> adults recognizing artistic intention of visual art). Therefore, I thought (B) contradicts the premise in the passage.
I chose (E) because it says that the study was not broad (just three schools). So we can't propose a solution based on a small group.
Also, in some CR questions like this one, "small sample group of the study" sometimes
- leads to a "weakener" choice,
- leads to an "irrelevant/out of scope" choice, or
- leads to a "strengthener" choice.
For this question,
if I consider "small sample group of the study" is not good (not broad because just 3 schools), choice (E) will be weakener.
if I consider "small sample group of the study" is good (controlled longitudinal), choice (E) will be strengthener.
What is your though on this?

Background Info:Elementary school children have traditionally received considerable instruction in creating visual art,
Premise 1: there has been no such instruction in music.
Premise 2: Consequently, in contrast to the situation for visual art, most people as adults do not recognize the artistic intention of composers.
Conclusion: To remedy this situation, a few educators now recommend teaching elementary schools students to compose music.
The situation is recognition of artistic intention of composers.
Which of the following, if true, is the strongest basis for arguing that implementation of the recommendation will not lead to the desired result?
A. Few elementary schools students are likely to create superior compositions.
The argument is not about the quality of compositions. It's about the recognition of artistic intentions.
B. Traditional education facilitates the appreciation of visual art, but not the recognition of the artistic intentions of artists.
This answer choice implies that there is an alternative explanation to the current situation of visual art. Therefore, the premise upon which the author made a plan is faulty.
C. More people report that they enjoy music than report that they enjoy visual art.
Enjoyment is not equal to recognition of artistic intentions.
D. Some composers have had little formal instruction in composition.
Level of Training is not equal to recognition of artistic intentions.
E. The recommendation is based on the results of a controlled longitudinal study conducted in three schools within a single city.
One might think the sample size is small, and therefore this choice weakens the argument.
But we don't know anything else about the study. So using the sample size is not strong enough of a reason.
