Children should be discouraged from reading Jones's books. Reading them is like eating candy, which provides intense, short-term sensory stimulation but leaves one poorly nourished and dulls one's taste for better fare. In other words, the problem with letting children read Jones's books is that _____________________.
Which one of the following most logically completes the argument?
(A) It will lead them to develop a taste for candy and sweets
(B) Too many children may become frustrated by their difficulty and stop reading altogether
(C) Their doing so interferes with the development of appreciation for more challenging literature
(D) Their message may undermine the positive teaching done by parents
(E) Children may become so enthralled with books that they will want to spend their time reading

In other words, the problem with letting children read Jones's books is that _____________________.
Which one of the following most logically completes the argument?
In the argument we have an analogy of Candy, Author tries to compare Jones's books with Candy, Both provide short term happiness, But actually, they will make us lose the better opportunity
(A) It will lead them to develop a taste for candy and sweets
It's just an analogy, Can't take the literal meaning out of it.
(B) Too many children may become frustrated by their difficulty and stop reading altogether
Where is the short-term happiness part here??
(C) Their doing so interferes with the development of an appreciation for more challenging literature
Yeah, They start appreciating weak/easy literature, Thereby losing the opportunity to appreciate/read more challenging ones.
(D) Their message may undermine the positive teaching done by parents
No relation
(E) Children may become so enthralled with books that they will want to spend their time reading
Negative effect is missing here

'In other words' follows 'but', thus continuing the thought presented by the author after the word 'but'. The thought is about author being against children reading Jones's books.
Only C has the related message with the same thought. B and E are opposite to what we are looking for. A goes literal while D is irrelevant.
Answer C.
