Question

A professor asks a group of 8-year-olds and a group of 16-year-olds to argue that they should receive a reduction in their allowance, an argument with which they all surely disagree. Which of the following is a likely result of this study?A) Almost none of the students will be able to do this.

B) Eight-year-olds will be able to do this, but 16-year-olds will be unable to do this.
C) Sixteen-year-olds will be able to do this, but 8-year-olds will be unable to do this.
D) Almost all of the students will be able to do this easily.

Answer 1

Answer: A) Almost none of the students will be able to do this.

Explanation: Children even younger than 8-year-olds understand that money is important and is good to have so no one is very likely to argue for a reduction in their allowance.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer: A) Almost none of the students will be able to do this.

Explanation: since they all disagree to the argument, it's a likely possibility that none of them would want to tread that path as to argue something they don't want. They could only argue against the motion, but as it seems that was not the requirement.
