Certain textbooks include all the information necessary for a student to complete all academic requirements to graduate from high school and no other information. However, other textbooks that also include additional information to provide context, used in conjunction with other multi-media learning tools, are better at preparing students for graduation from high school than are those textbooks that contain only the information necessary for the academic requirements.
Which of the following, if true, would most strongly support the position above?
A. For most students, contextualized information presented in a multi-media format is easier to understand and assimilate than is information presented without any context.
B. Students who read textbooks that include only the information necessary to complete the academic requirements for high school will then be unwilling to read other books that include other information.
C. Some textbooks must include all information necessary to complete the academic requirements for high school because there are some high schools that neglect to teach certain essential information.
D. Those textbooks that include extraneous information also include the information necessary to complete the academic requirements for high school.
E. Textbooks that contain only the information necessary to complete the requirement for high school are no more difficult to read and understand than are textbooks that contain extraneous information.

According to the argument, the books containing just the necessary information should include other information, which will help students to learn and understand the information better. Like adding multimedia links.
In order to strengthen the argument, we need to show that adding extra information is advantageous than its precised version.
A. For most students, contextualized information presented in a multi-media format is easier to understand and assimilate than is information presented without any context.(Yes, shows the advantage of using additional information, keep this)
B. Students who read textbooks that include only the information necessary to complete the academic requirements for high school will then be unwilling to read other books that include other information.(Well, the other information could be any. But the argument is based upon adding information similar to the one already explained in book, incomplete information) (Incorrect)
C. Some textbooks must include all information necessary to complete the academic requirements for high school because there are some high schools that neglect to teach certain essential information.(the necessary information is already explained in book. Also, Doesn't show any advantage of adding additional information in books) (Incorrect)
D. Those textbooks that include extraneous information also include the information necessary to complete the academic requirements for high school.(here the necessary information is the highlighted part, not the additional supplementary knowledge. Also, extra information could be any thing) (Incorrect)
E. Textbooks that contain only the information necessary to complete the requirement for high school are no more difficult to read and understand than are textbooks that contain extraneous information.(This weakens the argument, we need to strengthen it by showing the usefulness of supplementary knowledge) (Incorrect)
Answer is A

I still dont get why A is answer. it is clearly written in A
For most students, contextualized information presented in a multi-media format is easier to understand and assimilate than is information presented without any context.
No where in the passage it is mentioned anything about without any context infomation.
Can anybody help me in this?
