The Whitcombe reading scheme pairs each child with an adult volunteer for twenty minutes a week. Children on the scheme moved up a reading band twice as often last year as children who were not on it. The council, which has run the scheme in four schools for two years, concludes that the scheme works and wants to extend it across the borough.

Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

ASome children who were not on the scheme also moved up a reading band during that same school year.

BTeachers reported that the children on the scheme enjoyed their twenty minutes with a volunteer, looked forward to it each week, and asked to carry on with it next year.

CThe scheme costs the council very little to run, since the volunteers are unpaid and the sessions take place in school hours.

DVolunteers on the scheme are each given three hours of training in how to hear a child read, and are watched by a teacher through their first session.

EPlaces on the scheme were filled by drawing lots from the whole year group rather than by teacher nomination, and every child drawn took part.
