Question:

Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the above statement?

  1. In New Guinea, where fewer than 10% of all teenagers come from one-parent families, academic achievement is at an all-time high
  2. Many more people took the tests recently than took them in the last year in which the scores rose.

  4. Many more people took the tests recently than took them in the last year in which the scores rose.
  5. Orphans tested the highest on standardized tests of any subgroup of students.

Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

The passage establishes a chain of causality for academic success: stable families lead to stable children; stable children are able to fulfill their academic potential. And fulfilled academic potential is reflected by higher test scores. Choice (E) would weaken the statement, since orphans originate from homes in which neither parent is present.
