PT57.S2.Q13 - Administrators of educational institutions are enthusiastic

MindyKale

I am confused why this isn't the case :
Observation : Many teachers are afraid of computers.
Explanation: Because you can teach far many courses with far few teachers.

Hi,

I'd offer two explanations.

1) C) is just the stronger answer. The thesis of the paragraph is: "But this reason is mistaken," and the argument of the passage is a refutation of the statement in question.

2) The argument part isn't really a "possible explanation" for that observation that many teachers fear computers. It is the reason, and that reason is clearly contained in the sentence.

If (A) were to be correct, then the second sentence would be something like: "Many teachers fear computers possibly for that same reason." Or "That belief is one possible reason why many teachers fear computers."

I don't know if that distinction in (2) is really clear, but the answer choice felt "off" enough that I continued down the answer choices to (C), which felt "right."
