The Reading Basics courseware was recently used in a fourth grade classroom. After just twelve weeks, over 50% of the class was able to read at a fifth grade level. Teachers at every elementary school in the country should purchase our program and incorporate it into their teaching materials to accelerate the acquisition of reading skills by their students.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the above conclusion?
(A) Twelve weeks is not the length of a standard semester at most elementary schools.
(B) The publisher of the reading basics course does not possess a teaching certificate or any experience as an elementary school instructor.
(C) In a similar experiment, the majority of a third-grade classroom was only able to read at a fourth-grade level after over fourteen weeks of instruction using the reading basics program.
(D) Not every elementary school in the country can afford to purchase the courseware.
(E) other fourth grade classes commonly experience similar reading comprehension improvements without using the reading basics course.

Premises- class experienced significant improvement in reading skills after using the course
Conclusion- other schools should utilize the course
A) Twelve weeks is not the length of a standard semester at most elementary schools.
may sound tempting that time limit can be a reason,but it's not a strong reason
(B) The publisher of the reading basics course does not possess a teaching certificate or any experience as an elementary school instructor.
again out of scope .as it doesn't matter if the course is effective
(C) In a similar experiment, the majority of a third-grade classroom was only able to read at a fourth-grade level after over fourteen weeks of instruction using the reading basics program.
strengthens the conclusion.Incorrect
(D) Not every elementary school in the country can afford to purchase the courseware.
irrelevant.
(E) other fourth grade classes commonly experience similar reading comprehension improvements without using the reading basics course.
correct.If this is the case,then using the course makes no real difference as the result is achieved without the course as well.
IMO E
