<11{2[3(02)26]}> Aron: The two double A batteries in my CD player are dead, so the CD player doesn’t work. My television remote control, which also uses two double A batteries, works fine. So if I move the two batteries from my television remote control to my CD player, the CD player will definitely work.
Aron’s argument is most strengthened if which one of the following is true? (Points : 1)
A. Aron inserted the current batteries in his television remote control two months before he inserted the current batteries in his CD player.
B. The amount of energy required to power the CD player is not greater than the amount of energy needed to power the television remote control.
C. Aron has used his television remote control more times than he has used his CD player since inserting the current batteries into each device.
D. Double A batteries provide less energy than either C batteries or D batteries.
You're welcome.
Thank you very much!!
Double A batteries provide less energy than either C batteries or D batteries
To strengthen Aron's argument, we need to find a statement that supports the idea that moving the batteries from the television remote control to the CD player will make the CD player work. Let's analyze each option:
A. This statement does not provide any information about the current state of the batteries or their energy level. It is not relevant to Aron's argument.
B. This statement suggests that the energy required to power the CD player is not greater than the energy required to power the television remote control. This supports Aron's argument because if the CD player requires less energy, then the batteries from the television remote control should be able to power it.
C. This statement suggests that Aron has used his television remote control more times than his CD player since inserting the current batteries. This implies that the batteries in the remote control are being used less frequently and may still have more energy left. Therefore, if these batteries are used in the CD player, it is more likely that the CD player will work. This strengthens Aron's argument.
D. This statement is about the energy capacity of different types of batteries. It does not provide any information about the specific batteries in question. It is not relevant to Aron's argument.
Based on the analysis, option C is the most likely statement that strengthens Aron's argument.
