Editorial: Contrary to popular belief, teaching preschoolers is not especially difficult, for they develop strict systems (e.g., for sorting toys by shape), which help them to learn, and they are always intensely curious about something new in their world.
Which one of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the editorial’s argument?
(A) Preschoolers have a tendency to imitate adults, and most adults follow strict routines.
(B) Children intensely curious about new things have very short attention spans.
(C) Some older children also develop strict systems that help them learn.
(D) Preschoolers ask as many creative questions as do older children.
(E) Preschool teachers generally report lower levels of stress than do other teachers.

EXPLANATION FROM Fox LSAT
Hmm. The argument is short and sweet.
1) Preschoolers develop systems for learning.
2) Preschoolers are intensely curious.
3) Therefore, preschoolers are not especially difficult to teach.
Wow, really? What about the part where they bite each other? What about the part where they wander off into traffic? Poop their pants? Scream and cry? The argument fails to address several concerns I might have before I attempted to teach preschoolers.
We’re asked to weaken the argument. This should be easy.
A) This would strengthen the idea that preschoolers are easy to wrangle. We’re looking for a weakener.
B) This is a weakener, because we were told that they do have intense curiosity. This turns that supposed strength into a weakener, where they can’t focus on
anything for any reasonable period of time. This is probably the answer. I love it because it turns the editor’s own facts against her.
C) Older children are totally irrelevant.
D) This would strengthen the argument, not weaken it.
E) This would strengthen the argument, not weaken it.
Our answer is B.

(A) This is irrelevant and certainly does not weaken the argument. Incorrect
(B) Weakens the argument. As the children "are always intensely curious about something new in their world", and children who intensely curious about new things they have very short short attention spans, they will be difficult to teach. Correct
(C) Not very relevant as we are dealing with younger children. Incorrect
(D) Does not say anything about the difficulty of teaching younger children. Irrelevant. Incorrect
(E) This strengthens the argument. Incorrect
