Classical musical instruments are very complex and demand a lot of practice and theoretical knowledge to master. To a child, learning the intricacies of such an instrument is very challenging and because of the concentration needed, most children will tire fairly quickly. Since this leads to a slow learning pace, strict discipline should be maintained to avoid wasting time when teaching children how to play such musical instruments.

Which of the following, if true, calls the argument's conclusion into question?


A) The learning process, as proven by a recent brain study, is most efficient when the learner experiences a sense of enjoyment while learning, regardless of the progress being made.
B) The theoretical and practical aspects of music should be taught simultaneously so that the concepts are relevant to the music being played.
C) Children need discipline in their learning environment because when they are given the choice, they will usually avoid learning of any kind.
D) The classical musical instruments played today are far less cumbersome, and easier to learn, than their predecessors.
E) There are many children that achieve extremely high levels of musicianship at very young ages.

The main concern of this argument depicts that the strict discipline should be maintained while teaching children how to play musical instruments to increase the learning pace as well as the concentration due to the complex nature of learning such instruments.

Option A :- CORRECT
This option opposes the arguments conclusion and call it to question because the conclusion states that strict strict discipline should be maintained while teaching the children how to play musical instruments and also to increase the learning pace as against the option that proves that the most efficient way to learn music is when the learner experiences a sense of enjoyment regardless of the progress made.

Option B :- INCORRECT
This option happens to be in accordance to the argument, it supports the use of both practical and theoretical knowledge to master musical instruments, and it doesn't call the argument's conclusion into question.

Option C :- INCORRECT
This doesn't call the argument's conclusion into question because both this option and the argument support the use of discipline in teaching children how to play musical instruments.

Option D :- INCORRECT
The argument's conclusion is more concerned with what discipline has to do with the learning pace than how less cumbersome classical musical instruments are played today so, this option doesn't call argument's conclusion into question.

Option E :- INCORRECT
If true, this argument doesn't in anyway affect the argument's conclusion.
