P1: experiment (ran rats through a maze) Some of the rats were blind, others deaf, others lacked a sense of smell, and others had no sensory deficiencies
P2: All the rats learned the task in much the same amount of time.
P3: Of the senses other than sight, hearing, and smell, only kinesthesia had not previously been shown to be irrelevant to maze-learning.
P4: The researcher concluded that kinesthesia, the sensation of bodily movement, is sufficient for maze-learning.
we need to find flaw in the conclusion
(A) The small differences in proficiency found by the researcher did not appear to fall into a systematic pattern by group. (out of context)
(B) The possibility that the interaction of kinesthesia with at least one other sense is required for maze-learning cannot be ruled out on the basis of the data above.
(yes True Weakener as, there is the possibility that Kinesthesia combine with one other sense, it's not only K)
(C) It can be determined from the data that rats who are deprived of one of their sources of sensory stimulation become more reliant on kinesthesia than they had been, but the data do not indicate how such a transference takes place. (we don't need to show how that transference takes place, out of scope )
(D) It can be determined from the data that rats can learn to run mazes by depending on kinesthesia alone, but the possibility that rats respond to nonkinesthetic stimulation is not ruled out. (we can't determine it with surety as kinesthesia alone sufficient and we are not concerned about nonkinesthetic simulation)
(E) It can be determined from the data that maze-learning in rats depends on at least two sources of sensory stimulation, one of which is kinesthesia, but which of the remaining sources must also be employed is not determinable. (We can't determine that it is depends on at least 2 source, it may be or may be not, so wrong in the first part only)
