Studies have shown that children with behavioral issues are more likely to commit the same kind of mistakes again when constantly asked not to repeat their past mistakes. An acclaimed study on child psychology hypothesizes that since such children, on being repeatedly reminded of their mistakes, accept that people around them are “used to” a certain behavior from them, they lack the motivation to improve on their behavior, making it difficult for them to break free from the pattern.
Which of the following, if true, best supports the explanation given above for the behavioral pattern observed in such children?
(A) The pattern of repeating mistakes is common to both children who do well in academics and those who don’t.
(B) It was also found in the study that most such children came from dysfunctional families in which the inter-personal relations between the parents were unusually strained.
(C) Children with behavioral issues tend to find comfort in the company of similar children as they feel more accepted among such peers.
(D) The siblings of such children who do not have similar behavioral patterns sometimes end up making mistakes not very dissimilar to the ones made by children with behavioral issues.
(E) Therapy sessions for children with behavioral issues tend to be significantly more effective when their mistakes are not mentioned than when they are.

A) The pattern of repeating mistakes is common to both children who do well in academics and those who don’t. Irrelevant comparison
(B) It was also found in the study that most such children came from dysfunctional families in which the inter-personal relations between the parents were unusually strained. No information of background
(C) Children with behavioral issues tend to find comfort in the company of similar children as they feel more accepted among such peers. Not a part of the study as mentioned in the passage / does not reflects any pattern

(E) Therapy sessions for children with behavioral issues tend to be significantly more effective when their mistakes are not mentioned than when they are. This statement best describes the state of mind of the children ,who are continuously told about the mistakes they make

Conclusion: Studies have shown that children with behavioral issues are more likely to commit the same kind of mistakes again when constantly asked not to repeat their past mistakes.
We can strengthen the explanation and conclusion by eliminating any alternative explanation for the stated behavior or by proving that the studies presented here are accurate.
Which of the following, if true, best supports the explanation given above for the behavioral pattern observed in such children?
(A) Incorrect:The pattern of repeating mistakes is common to both children who do well in academics and those who don’t. This choice is irrelevant because children who are good or bad at academics neither support nor weaken our conclusion.
(B)Incorrect: It was also found in the study that most such children came from dysfunctional families in which the inter-personal relations between the parents were unusually strained. Out of scope
(C)Incorrect: Children with behavioral issues tend to find comfort in the company of similar children as they feel more accepted among such peers. Out of scope as the study never mentions the comfort of children.
(D) Incorrect:The siblings of such children who do not have similar behavioral patterns sometimes end up making mistakes not very dissimilar to the ones made by children with behavioral issues. Even if the siblings are making the same or very similar mistakes it does not strengthen our argument as this study is about children with behavioral issues and why they repeat their mistakes. -Out of Scope
(E) Correct:Therapy sessions for children with behavioral issues tend to be significantly more effective when their mistakes are not mentioned than when they are. This is the correct choice as it is in line with our thinking, this choice presents additional data to prove the result of study, strengthening the explanation.
