A professor asks a group of 8-year-olds and a group of 16-year-olds to argue that they should receive a reduction in their allowance, an argument with which they all surely disagree. Which of the following statements is a likely result of this study?A. Almost none of the students will be able to do this.B. Eight-year-olds will be able to do this, but 16-year-olds will be unable to do this.C. Sixteen-year-olds will be able to do this, but 8-year-olds will be unable to do this.D. Almost all of the students will be able to do this easily.
