Haley: There is no point in pursuing a four-year college degree. From all the research I have done so far, it is quite evident that all that you actually need to know in your career after college can be learnt in about a year. Mostly, it is the on-job learning that matters. Take the example of Kelly who did only a few accounting courses from the community college and she is now hired by an airline company for a permanent accounting job.
Jess: But when I spoke to Kelly, she told me that although on-job learning is important, one also needs a strong theoretical base. Surely, spending four years in college is important.
Jess most seriously weakens Haley's argument by doing which one of the following?
a. Indicating that Kelly's achievements are overemphasized by Haley
b. Challenging Haley's core reasoning against spending four years in college
c. Arguing in circles, without any substantive evidence
d. Suggesting that Haley's argument lacks evidence
e. Using her personal relation with Kelly to counter Haley's argument

Jess most seriously weakens Haley's argument by choosing option (b).
By pointing out that Kelly herself acknowledges the importance of a strong theoretical base, Jess challenges Haley's claim that all necessary knowledge for a career can be learned in about a year. Jess's statement supports the idea that spending four years in college provides a comprehensive education that includes both theoretical knowledge and on-the-job learning, countering Haley's argument that a four-year degree is unnecessary.
