Educational Theorist: Recent editorials have called for limits on the amount

of homework assigned to children. They point out that free-time activities

play an important role in childhood development and that large amounts of

homework reduce children’s free time, hindering their development. But the

average homework time for a ten year old, for example, is little more than

30 minutes per night. Clearly, therefore, there is no need to impose the

limits these editorials are calling for.

 

Which of the following is an assumption on which the educational theorist’s

argument relies?

A.    The free-time activities that ten year olds engage in most are all

approximately equally effective at fostering development

B.     Regularly doing homework assignments improves children’s academic

performance.

C.     Individual teachers are not the best judges of how much homework to

assign the children they teach

D.    In most schools, if not all, the homework assignments given are of a

length that does not diverge widely from the average.

E.     Free-time activities rarely teach children skills or information that they

can use in their academic work.

答案是A，但是我觉得是D，大家讨论一下吧。
