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.

Correct Answer: evidence that using computers makes learning to read difficult.

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.
