a
A knowledge of ███ ██████ ████████████ ██ ██ ████ ████████ ████ █ █████████ ██ ███ ███████████ ████████ ████████████
This answer is unsupported. No comparison was made about which skills, computer or basic math and reading, was more valuable. The stimulus does not make this value judgment.
b
Schools cannot emphasize ███ ████████ ██ ████████ ██████ ███████ ██████████ █████ ███████
This answer is unsupported. We only know that schools are emphasizing teaching computer skills at the expense of other skills. We don't know that this is inevitable. Perhaps they could emphasize teaching computer skills without neglecting other skills.
c
A complete rethinking ██ ███████████ ████████ ████████ ██ ████████ ██ █████ ██ ████ ████ ████ ██████ █████████████
This answer is unsupported. We don’t know whether a complete rethinking is required. Perhaps a minor adjustment is all that's requirement.
