Question

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

Options:

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.

Answer: Option E
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.
