Sarah: The principal's recent proposal to separate math classes into fast and slow sections will help slow students as well as the more mathematically adept. If the less adept students are put in a special section, they will be able to proceed at a slower pace, which will enable them to absorb their lessons more effectively.
Nina: On the contrary, once labeled as "slow," these students will perceive themselves as slow and act accordingly, lowering their own standards as their teachers lower their expectations of them.
Which of the following, if true, most weakens Nina's argument?
a. The proposal was made primarily with the intent of benefiting the slower students in the class.
b. "Slow" students are not necessarily less bright, but are often underutilizing their abilities.
c. Teachers should spend extra time and effort with their less able students.
d. Slower students do not usually learn as much from fast-paced peers as they do from slow-paced lessons.
e. Most teachers prefer to split classes into slow and fast groups.
