Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This choice provides specific statistics that show a difference in performance between Asian and North American children on math tests. It also highlights that the average Asian child outperforms the average North American child in math. Choices A and B are incorrect because they do not provide specific statistics and make generalizations about attitudes and performance without specifying which groups are being compared. Choice C is incorrect because it claims that performance is similar when the question is specifically addressing the differences in performance between Asian and North American children.
