Pediatrician: Child psychologists recommend that mothers of one-year olds not only name objects in the immediate environment, but that they include the color of the object, when applicable. For instance, if a mother hands her child a red ball, she should say, “This is a red ball.” Nonetheless, even if mothers began to name the color, instead of simply saying, “This is a ball,” no real benefit will be conferred to the child, because studies have shown that children under 18-months old do not grasp the notion of color.
The pediatrician’s argument is most vulnerable to which of the following?
A. Infants who hear words embedded in sentences that have each part of speech present tend to speak sooner than those infants who do not.
B. Children usually benefit from having toys in their environments.
C. The range at which children utter their first sentence typically ranges from 15-months to 30-months.
D. Children under the age of three tend to be confused when parents use adult level vocabulary.
E. Psychologists have conducted studies showing that most children under the age of 30 months often utter the names of colors even when that color is not present in their environments.

Pediatrician's point is: Since children under 18 months do not understand the concept of color there is no point using it in the sentence and pediatrician goes the extra way by saying it has no real benefit.
Now we have to weaken this conclusion.
A. Infants who hear words embedded in sentences that have each part of speech present tend to speak sooner than those infants who do not.
It shows while it may not help children under 18 months learn about colors it certainly helps in other ways. (so there is actually some benefit)
B. Children usually benefit from having toys in their environments.
Irrelevant

MAGOOSH Official Explanation:
Answer: (A)
The conclusion: do not include the name of colors when speaking to infants less than 18-months old, because doing so doesn’t benefit them in any way. The correct answer must show that including a color word in a sentence offers an advantage. (A) clearly does so, by stating that the baby benefits from hearing sentences with several words, especially if those words are different parts of speech, i.e., adjective, verb, noun.
(B) shows an advantage, but relates to toys not to colors.
(C) Offers no insight into the prompt.
(D) Does not describe any kind of advantage.
(E) Just shows that some children under 30-months may have a notion of color. However, this does not go against the argument, which is focusing on those less than 18-months.
