Identify the most logical conclusion from the information provided.

A school introduced a voluntary reading programme. Students who participated regularly showed improved comprehension and vocabulary scores. Some non-participating students also improved due to additional classroom support.

Evidence one Regular programme participation was associated with better comprehension.

The evidence suggests a positive relationship but does not prove that participation was the only cause.

Evidence two Classroom support also contributed to student improvement.

More than one factor may explain the observed academic progress.

A
The reading programme was the only reason scores improved.

This conclusion ignores the additional classroom-support evidence.

Review
B
Regular reading may support comprehension, but other factors also influenced improvement.

This conclusion reflects both the programme evidence and the additional classroom support.

Select
C
Students who did not participate could not improve.

This statement directly conflicts with the information provided.
