Teleconferencing is a sensible solution to the problem of educating high school students in remote Alaskan villages. Students in villages with less than 50 high school students could be linked via the Internet to educators in other locations. If this plan were successful students would receive a superior education compared to that currently being provided by local educators.

Which of the following, if true, could most appropriately be used by proponents of this plan as evidence of the strength of their plan?

(A) A high speed teleconferencing system would require a major investment in satellite and computer equipment.
(B) With teleconferencing, students could take several courses, each from a different teacher who is an expert in that particular subject.
(C) The majority of high school students in the state of Alaska go to schools with more than 50 students.
(D) Several new high schools are being built in the urban areas of Alaska.
(E) A large proportion of Alaskan high school students do not currently have access to the Internet

OPTION A - INCORRECT
High speed of teleconferencing? The funding or amount of money needed for this project was not discussed. Be properly guide that the question requires the evidence of the strength of their plan.

OPTION B - CORRECT
...could take several courses? This is in line, and truly strengthens the proponents of the plans. So teachers from different courses can teach through teleconferencing.

OPTION C - INCORRECT
The sentence talks about a remote village called Alaska. A student in these villages with less than 50 high could be taken an online teaching. This is exactly what the question is saying and not that "the majority goes to school with more than 50 students".

OPTION D - INCORRECT
This is obviously out of point; it was never mentioned that new high schools would be built and this does not strengthen the sentence.

OPTION E - INCORRECT
Be careful! Alaskan high school is different from schools in remote Alaskan villages.

In this option, Alaskan high school children... Meanwhile, in the main sentence, ...high school students in remote Alaskan villages is the bone of contention.
