This year, the Rocktown school district offered a free summer enrichment program called “History Rocks” to its rising fourth-grade students. Therefore, fourth graders in the Rocktown school district will score better this year on American history tests.
Each of the following, if true, would strengthen the author’s conclusion EXCEPT:
(A) “History Rocks” focuses entirely on American history.
(B) The majority of the district’s rising fourth graders attended the program.
(C) For the past five years, Rocktown students have scored lower, on average, on American history tests than have students in neighboring towns.
(D) The material on fourth-grade history tests in Rocktown is substantially similar to the material being covered in the enrichment program.
(E) It has been proven that students retain knowledge better when learning one subject at a time, as is the case in the “History Rocks” program

Rock town is offering a free summer enrichment program called “ History Rocks” to its rising fourth grade students. Therefore, (because of this summer enrichment program), the kids will score well or perform better this year on American history. Each of the following, if true, would strengthen the author’s conclusion EXCEPT:
(A) “History Rocks” focuses entirely on American history.
(B) The majority of the district’s rising fourth graders attended the program.
(C) For the past five years, Rocktown students have scored lower, on average, on American history tests than have students in neighboring towns.
(D) The material on fourth-grade history tests in Rocktown is substantially similar to the material being covered in the enrichment program.

Options that strengthen are :
(A), (B), (D), and (E) all support this conclusion directly by showing that the program is focusing the content being tested, majority of kids attended, or aligned with test material being tested , and based on effective learning methods.
Hence, these options can be considered as Strengtheners.
Option (C), however, only provides data about past performance, which could suggest that improving scores may be more difficult. It directly contradicts the claim that the program will improve scores this year.
Therefore, (C) is the correct answer because it does not strengthen the conclusion.
