True, in the nineteenth century the majority of schools closed for three months every summer, but only because they were in rural areas where successful harvests depended on children's labor. If any policy could be justified by those appeals to tradition, it would be the policy of determining the length of the school year according to the needs of the economy.

The argument counters the objection by
The argument counters the objection by
(A) providing evidence to show that the objection relies on a misunderstanding about the amount of time each year United States schools traditionally have been closed
(B) calling into question the relevance of information about historical practices to current disputes about proposed social change
(C) arguing for an alternative understanding of the nature of the United States tradition regarding the length of the school year
(D) showing that those who oppose extending the school year have no genuine concern for tradition
(E) demonstrating that tradition justifies bringing the United States school year in line with that of the rest of the industrialized world.
Explanation of the answer is now provided by analyzing each of the options as follows:
(A) providing evidence to show that the objection relies on a misunderstanding about the amount of time each year United States schools traditionally have been closed
The time frame provided was, as far as we know, correct and accurate. Therefore, this option is out.
(B) calling into question the relevance of information about historical practices to current disputes about proposed social change
Inconsistent, which makes it tricky. The data used is accurate and pertinent to the topic. The data used is accurate and pertinent to the topic at hand. However, the error is the use of a parallelism between the practice of a tradition a century ago and the practice of the same tradition today that youngsters are no longer required to work over the summer.
(C) arguing for an alternative understanding of the nature of the United States tradition regarding the length of the school year
Indeed, the reasoning demands us to abandon the reasons that shaped tradition in the first place, despite the fact that such reasons no longer apply. This is therefore the correct option.
(D) showing that those who oppose extending the school year have no genuine concern for tradition
This is not within the scope.
(E) demonstrating that tradition justifies bringing the United States school year in line with that of the rest of the industrialized world
This is not within the scope.
