Although elementary school children have traditionally

[BTGmoderatorDC]

Although elementary school children have traditionally received considerable instruction in creating visual art, there has been no such instruction in music. Consequently, in contrast to the situation for visual art, most people as adults do not recognize the artistic intention of composes. To remedy this situation, a few educators now recommend teaching elementary schools students to compose music.

Which of the following, if true, is the strongest basis for arguing that implementation of the recommendation will not lead to the desired result?

A. Few elementary schools students are likely to create superior compositions.

B. Traditional education facilitates the appreciation of visual art, but not the recognition of the artistic intentions of artists.

C. More people report that they enjoy music than report that they enjoy visual art.

D. Some composers have had little formal instruction in composition.

E. The recommendation is based on the results of a controlled longitudinal study conducted in three schools within a single city.

Premise: Elementary school children have traditionally received considerable instruction in creating visual art and there has been no such instruction in music.

Conclusion: A few educators now recommend teaching elementary students to compose music in order to remedy the situation.

Option A - Incorrect
This claim is not based on a true fact we cannot know whether or not the recommendation will enable the students to create superior compositions.

Option B - Correct
This is absolutely true. According to the passage "Elementary school children have traditionally received considerable instruction in creating visual art and there has been no such instruction in music"; this therefore will impede the recommendation by educators.

Option C - Incorrect
This is false because, in reference to the passage, most people do not recognize the artistic intention of composes. As a result of this, this claim is false.

Option D - Incorrect
No information was given in this regard in the passage. The argument is concern about elementary schools students and not composers.

Option E - Incorrect
We are not concerned about what this option implies since there is no expression of such in the passage. Hencem there is no concrete basis to back it up.
