Dillworth: More and more people are deciding not to have children because of the personal and economic sacrifices children require and because so often children are ungrateful for the considerable sacrifices their parents do make for them. However, such considerations have no bearing on the fact that their children provide the best chance most people have of ensuring that their values live on after them. Therefore, for anyone with deeply held values, foregoing parenthood out of reluctance to make sacrifices for which little gratitude can be expected would probably be a mistake.
Travers: Your reasoning ignores another fact that deserves consideration: children’s ingratitude for parental sacrifices usually stems from a wholesale rejection of parental values.
The point of Travers’ rejoinder to Dillworth’s argument is that
(A) Dillworth’s assumption that children acquire values only from their parents is mistaken
(B) it is a mistake to dismiss as irrelevant the personal and economic sacrifices people are called on to make for the sake of their children
(C) Dillworth has overlooked the well-known fact that people with deeply held values not infrequently reject opposing values that are deeply held by others
(D) the desire to perpetuate their values should not be a factor in people’s decision to have children
(E) the fact that children are often ungrateful for parental sacrifices is not irrelevant to deciding whether to have children in order to perpetuate one’s values

Quote:
ARGUMENT
d= reasons for not having kids is because
= kids dont appreciate sacrifices parents make
= but, kids are the best chance of perpetuating values
= thus, ungratefulness of sacrifices shouldn't be factor
t= maybe kids are ungrateful because they reject such values
Ans (E) thus, considering their ungratefulness is a relevant factor in deci to perp values.

ANS D
Frankly, this was really difficult.I couldn't even understand the question stem. But, I might as well give this a try.
Resoning : D says Children ungratefullness and parent's sacrifice is the reason. But, he concludes - if deep values have to be transferred, parents need to have children..
T says children are ungrateful if they don't agree with the transferred values
ANSwer choice : Something which states that transfer of values shouldn't be a reason of having children....

Travers: Your reasoning ignores another fact that deserves consideration: children’s ingratitude for parental sacrifices usually stems from a wholesale rejection of parental values.
Stimulus: states that alot of couple these days are choosing to not have kids as the kids these days are ungrateful and do not value parental sacrifices; however parents would like their values to be transferred to their kids and so would like to have kids. Travers adds that the kids that do not value parental sacrifices are the ones who do have parental values.
IMO D: The desire to perpetuate their own values should not be the concern as they may or may not have the values.
