    Question

    Passage: Some education experts argue that

    introducing coding at the primary school level enhances logical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills in children. However, a few critics caution that children may become too dependent on screens and lose interest in physical activity and social interaction. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument in favor of introducing coding at the primary level?
    A A majority of primary schools lack teachers trained in computer science. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Studies show that children who learn coding early perform better in mathematics and analytical reasoning tasks. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Many parents are concerned about increasing screen time for their children. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Some schools that introduced early coding have reported discipline issues among students. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Coding is offered as an optional subject in many high schools. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The argument is that coding improves logical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. We are asked to strengthen this claim. Let’s analyze the options: A) Talks about the lack of trained teachers, which might weaken, not strengthen, the argument. B) Supports the benefits of early coding by citing research, which directly strengthens the claim that coding helps with thinking and reasoning. C) Talks about concerns, not benefits – this would weaken, not strengthen. D) Mentions discipline issues, again weakening the argument. E) Is irrelevant to primary-level coding – it gives no support or contradiction to the main argument.
