Summary
For students to successfully learn about a topic, they must be genuinely curious about that topic. These students find satisfaction of curiosity gratifying. However, almost no child starts a class with enough curiosity to successfully learn all the material.
Strongly Supported Conclusions
A teacher’s job, therefore, involves making students curious about the class topic as well as satisfying that curiosity.

a
requires for the ███████████ ██ ███ █████ ███ ███████████ ██ ████ ██ ███ ████████████ ██ █████████
This answer is strongly supported. We know that curiosity is a necessary condition for students to successfully learn about a topic, and that most children are not curious when they enter the classroom. So logically, to help children learn, teachers should make them curious and then satisfy their curiosity.
b

This answer is unsupported. We don’t know from the stimulus whether the use of external rewards is necessary for stimulating curiosity or successfully learning about a topic.
c
is to focus █████████ ██ █████ ██████ ████ ██ ███ █████████ ████████ ███ ████████
This answer is unsupported. The stimulus does not suggest what topics teachers should or should not focus on, it generalizes across all possible topics.
d
is facilitated by █████████ ██████ ██████████████ ███ █████ ███ ████████
This answer is unsupported. The stimulus does not indicate whether students have any responsibility for their own learning, or what effect such a responsibility would have.
e
becomes easier if ████████ ███████ ████ ████ ████████ ██ ███ ███████████ █████████
This answer is unsupported. The stimulus doesn't mention at what point a teacher’s job becomes easier, and also doesn't say anything about students not enjoying the learning process.
