Although elementary school children have traditionally received considerable instruction in creating visual art, there has been no such instruction in music. Consequently, in contrast to the situation for visual art, most people as adults do not recognize the artistic intention of composers. To remedy this situation, a few educators now recommend teaching elementary schools students to compose music.
Which of the following, if true, is the strongest basis for arguing that implementation of the recommendation will not lead to the desired result?
CR60561.01
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
