Although elementary school children have traditionally received considerable instruction in creating visual art, there has been no such instruction in music. consequently, in contrast to the situation for visual art, most people as adults do not recognize the artistic intention of composes. to remedy this situation, a few educators now recommend teaching elementary schools students to compose music.

which of the following, if true, is the strongest basis for arguing that implementation of the recommendation will not lead to the desired result?

a. few elementary schools students are likely to create superior compositions.

b. traditional education facilitates the appreciation of visual art, but not the recognition of the artistic intentions of artists.

c. more people report that they enjoy music than report that they enjoy visual art.

d. some composers have had little formal instruction in composition.

e. the recommendation is based on the results of a controlled longitudinal study conducted in three schools within a single city.
