An author argues that 'modern education systems fail because they prioritize rote memorization over critical thinking.' If it were discovered that students in systems emphasizing memorization perform significantly better on tasks requiring complex problem-solving than those in systems emphasizing thinking skills, this finding would:
- Support the author's premise while weakening the final conclusion.
- Weaken the author's argument by challenging a central assumption.
- Have no effect on the argument as it concerns 'problem-solving' rather than 'thinking.'
- Strengthen the author's argument by providing empirical evidence of failure.
