medium · LSAT Logical Reasoning

A study found that students who listen to classical music while studying scored higher on exams than those who studied in silence. Therefore, listening to classical music improves a student's ability to learn.

Which of the following is an assumption required by the argument?

  1. The music listeners' higher scores were not simply a result of those students being stronger performers to begin with.
  2. Most students find classical music to be more relaxing than other types of background noise.
  3. The students in the study were all majoring in the same academic subject.
  4. Classical music improves learning more than any other genre of music does.
  5. Classical music has a more pronounced effect on exam scores than on day-to-day retention of material.
