The laboratory experiment, the most effective method for teaching science, is disappearing from most secondary school curricula, and students are now simulating experiments with computers. This trend should be stopped. It results in many students’ completing secondary school and going on to a university without knowing how to work with laboratory equipment.
Which one of the following, if true, most weakens the argument?
(A) Scientific knowledge is changing so rapidly it is difficult for secondary schools to keep up without using computers.
(B) In some secondary schools, teachers conduct laboratory experiments while students observe.
(C) Computers have proven to be a valuable tool for teaching secondary school students scientific terminology.
(D) Secondary schools and universities across the nation have put a great deal of money into purchasing computers.
(E) University students can learn science effectively without having had experience in working with laboratory equipment.

(A) Changing scientific knowledge is irrelevant to the present discussion.
(B) Who conducts the experiments is not important , but knowledge of handling with laboratory equipment is the topic under discussion.
(C) Computers are a valuable tool, but do the students learn how to work with laboratory equipment.
(D) Purchasing computers is irrelevant to the discussion.
If " students can learn science effectively without having had experience in working with laboratory equipment." then simulating experiments with computers will not hinder the students knowledge of working with laboratory equipments, Answer must be (E)

Bunuel (E) is the answer. If university students can effectively learn science without prior experience in working with laboratory equipment, it undermines the argument's assumption that students must have hands-on experience with laboratory equipment in secondary school in order to succeed at the university level. This suggests that the trend of simulating experiments with computers may not be detrimental to students' overall scientific education, as they can still acquire the necessary knowledge and skills in university without prior laboratory experience.
By presenting an alternative path to success in science education, this statement weakens the argument's assertion that the disappearance of laboratory experiments from secondary school curricula is a problem that needs to be addressed.
