Analyzing Arguments

Directions to SolveRead the below passage carefully and answer the questions:Giving children computers in grade school is a waste of money and teachers time. These children are too young to learn how to use computers effectively and need to spend time on learning the basics, like arithmetic and reading. After all, a baby has to crawl before she can walk.

Q1: Which of the following, if true, would strengthen the speaker's argument?

A studies showing computers are expensive

B research on the effect of computer games on children

C examples of high school students who use computers improperly

D proof that the cost of computers is coming down

E evidence that using computers makes learning to read difficult

ANS:E - evidence that using computers makes learning to read difficult

Explanation: This evidence would back up the speaker's contention that young students should learn the basics before learning computers. Choices a and d, which are both about cost, would have no effect on the argument. Choices b and c are too vague.
