Spokesperson: The claim by the minister of education that teachers’ attitudes are causing a decline in student performance is belied by events at any meeting of our Teachers Association. The workshops at these meetings are filled with teachers struggling to find new ways to teach their students. No one, not even a very unsympathetic observer, could detect any negative attitudes toward students.
Which one of the following most accurately describes a flaw in the spokesperson’s argument?
(A) The argument focuses on the opponent rather than on the opponent’s argument.
(B) The argument takes for granted that the minister of education would be an unsympathetic observer.
(C) The argument takes for granted that only when teachers’ attitudes toward students are negative will those attitudes cause a decline in student performance.
(D) The argument draws a conclusion that simply restates a claim presented in support of that conclusion.
(E) The argument presumes, without providing justification, that teachers’ attitudes toward students cannot have any effect on student performance.

Claim: Minister of education claims that teachers’ attitudes are causing a decline in student performance
Alternate Observation: But at the workshops in Teachers associations meetings, teachers work to find new ways to teach their student.
Claim derived from alternate observation: No one could detect any negative attitudes toward students.
Possible flaw: Agreed negative attitudes were not observed in meetings, but the Teacher's positive or neutral attitudes toward students are causing a decline in student performance.
(A) The argument focuses on the opponent rather than on the opponent’s argument.
--> False. Argument does not focus on minister at all.
(B) The argument takes for granted that the minister of education would be an unsympathetic observer.
--> False. Argument does not assume this.
(C) The argument takes for granted that only when teachers’ attitudes toward students are negative will those attitudes cause a decline in student performance.
--> Correct.
(D) The argument draws a conclusion that simply restates a claim presented in support of that conclusion.
--> False. Argument claims that teachers attitudes in the meetings is not negative, and therefore concludes that attitude of teacher towards children is not a cause for the student's decline in perfromance.
(E) The argument presumes, without providing justification, that teachers’ attitudes toward students cannot have any effect on student performance.
--> False. This statement stretches to extreme. Argument could be true even when we assume teachers' attitudes towards students can have +ve or -ve impact on students performance.
