Argument: "Meditation should be part of the school routine."Which strengthens this?
Correct answer: B. Meditation enhances students' concentration and academic performance
- A. Students often cause disturbances in class
- B. Meditation enhances students' concentration and academic performance
- C. Quiet environments can aid learning
- D. Practices like yoga are gaining popularity among students
Explanation
The correct answer is that meditation enhances students' concentration and academic performance. This directly supports the argument by highlighting a specific benefit of meditation that is relevant to the school setting. The other options do not directly address the benefits of meditation. The statement about students causing disturbances focuses on behavior, not meditation. The idea that quiet environments aid learning is about the environment, not meditation itself. Finally, the popularity of yoga does not provide specific support for meditation.
