This year, Williamsboro High School introduced a peer tutoring program in which students who performed poorly in class were tutored by those who performed well in class. The average scores of the students being tutored were higher before the tutoring than afterwards. Clearly peer tutoring programs do more harm academically than good.
Each of the following, if true, would weaken the argument above EXCEPT:
A) Students who were tutored in the program have exhibited greatly improved study habits and an increased desire to learn.
B) The average scores of students who were not in the tutoring program declined by an even greater amount over the tutoring period.
C) The majority of students who were tutored in the peer-tutoring program enjoyed the program and preferred the tutoring to their regular classes.
D) The course work for which students were responsible at the end of the tutoring period was significantly more challenging than that at the beginning of the tutoring period.
E) Most of the students tutored in a peer tutoring program at Gainesville High School showed marked improvements in their test scores.

Each of the following, if true, would weaken the argument above EXCEPT:
A) Students who were tutored in the program have exhibited greatly improved study habits and an increased desire to learn.
Peer tutoring has improved their study habits and propensity to learn so it has done some good rather than harm and hence can weaken the argument
B) The average scores of students who were not in the tutoring program declined by an even greater amount over the tutoring period.
Students who were not peer-tutored performed worse than those that were. Clearly then the peer-tutoring program has helped some students.
C) The majority of students who were tutored in the peer-tutoring program enjoyed the program and preferred the tutoring to their regular classes.
Preference does not mean that there were academic improvements either qualitatively (options A, C) or quantitatively (options B, E). Hence, this does not weaken the argument.
D) The course work for which students were responsible at the end of the tutoring period was significantly more challenging than that at the beginning of the tutoring period.
The poor average of the students who were peer-tutored can be explained by the course getting more difficult rather than it being a reflection of the program. Hence, this explanation casts doubt on the argument and hence weakens it.
E) Most of the students tutored in a peer tutoring program at Gainesville High School showed marked improvements in their test scores.
The average may be down but this may be caused by a few outlier/s as “most” of the peer-tutored students showed marked improvements. “Most” students doing well weakens the argument.

only C talks about different matter ( perception of students who were tutored)
neither weakens nor support argument. hence Answer C
