A - An alternate explanation for the findings could be that the students didn't score well because they didn't find electronic textbooks as conducive to studying as regular textbooks. Option A eleminates this possibility, thus strengthening the claim.
B - We've all had teachers that were excellent at their jobs and at the same time (we) have scored poorly in the subject. Option B is irrelevant
C - distracts us with additional features. We don't know if all electronic textbooks have these additional features
D - The findings are about reading comprehension scores. This option is irrelevant
E - irrelevant. This has no bearing on the findings
OPTION A

Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the researchers' reasoning?
A. Students who use electronic textbooks report higher levels of satisfaction with their learning materials than those using traditional textbooks.
There is no corelation of higher level of satisfaction and understanding of curriculum, hence this is not relevant.
B. Schools that have introduced electronic textbooks have also invested in teacher training to integrate technology effectively into their curriculum.
This too doesnt provide any context whether electronic textbook provide better understanding or not. With this it could implied that with addition of teacher, the electronic book indeed dont provide better understanding.
C. Research has shown that the additional features of electronic textbooks, such as multimedia and hyperlinks, often distract students from the main text, reducing the depth of their engagement with the content.
With this, we can relate that bcs of such feature students are distracted and hence understanding is less on electionic books. Thus this provided better support for reaserchs argument.
D. Many students using electronic textbooks perform better on interactive assessments that are integrated into the electronic textbook platform.
No relation with understanding of curriculum, We dont know what assesment measure.
E. The cost of electronic textbooks is significantly lower than that of traditional textbooks, making them a more economical option for schools.
Cost has no relation with the argument present. Hence not releavant.

Question stem gives us following info:
1. Electronic textbooks -> not significantly improved reading comp score
2. Interactive features offered by Ebooks -> do not inherently enhance understanding of the material
3. Tech advances -> basic nature of RC not changed
We need to strengthen the researcher's argument. So, we can pre-think that additional support needs to be provided for why ebooks haven't increased RC score significantly.
Looking at options:
A. Students who use electronic textbooks report higher levels of satisfaction with their learning materials than those using traditional textbooks.
Does satisfaction means higher reading comp score? We do not know. Out of scope for us to dictate. Eliminate
B. Schools that have introduced electronic textbooks have also invested in teacher training to integrate technology effectively into their curriculum.
If anything this statement weakens the researcher's argument. In long term, additionalteacher training will result in increase reading comp score of students with help of Ebooks. Eliminate
C. Research has shown that the additional features of electronic textbooks, such as multimedia and hyperlinks, often distract students from the main text, reducing the depth of their engagement with the content.
This strengthens researcher's argument. Additional support is provided for why reading comp scores have not increased significantly after introduction of ebooks. Students are not engaging with content because of distraction. Keep it
D. Many students using electronic textbooks perform better on interactive assessments that are integrated into the electronic textbook platform.
This weaken's argument. Maybe reason why electronic textbooks had not desired result was because assessment was different from how they are learning with help of ebooks. This could be reason why score has not improved rather than researcher's argument. Eliminate.
E. The cost of electronic textbooks is significantly lower than that of traditional textbooks, making them a more economical option for schools.
So? No effect on researcher's claim. Statement provides support for why school chose electronic textbook but doesn't explain or provide opposition to why ebook introductoin did not significantly improved RC score. Eliminate
