Psychologists have found that there are fascinating differences between children and adults when it comes to learning a new musical instrument. In particular, the piano is an instrument that knows no one age for learning and presents multiple opportunities for the successful attainment of musical skills. It does, however, offer a variety of challenges both to children and to adults – due to the differences in mind development – with children developing certain skills more quickly and more effectively than adults. How quickly children learn is often limited by their motor skills, but they are more likely to remember in detail the pieces they learn and to retain that knowledge over long periods of time. At the same time, adults are more likely to retain the muscle memory of the pieces that they learn and reproduce them blindly, just by allowing their fingers to recall the correct notes.
If the passage above is true, all of the following may be concluded EXCEPT:
CEO, Global Sugars; Setting up a Beet sugar plant in civil war-torn Kanjing province is not imprudent, despite the opposition from critics of the strategy.

All seven of the accused have plea-bargained to avoid trial and are now serving in prison on reduced sentences.

Editorial: Although Nation X has been gaining in population, the number of annual visitors to its national parks has steadily declined over the past twenty years. Some commentators have attributed this trend to people’s growing absorption in television and video games. But this explanation is implausible. The number of visitors to national parks rose during earlier decades even as the popularity of television and video games grew rapidly.
The main point of the editorial’s argument is that in Nation X,
Hydrogen is widely touted as the energy source of the future. But making hydrogen requires fuel, which otherwise could be used to generate electricity, heat, or mechanical power directly. To run our hybrid cars and light our homes, for example, we can generate electricity in small, efficient plants fueled by natural gas. Consuming natural gas to produce hydrogen, which is then converted into electricity, lowers overall efficiency and increases the emission of harmful greenhouse gases into the environment.
The passage is structured to lead to which of the following conclusions?
