instructions
read the question carefully and select the best answer.

which sentence from this excerpt best supports the idea that more practice leads to greater success?
a. \with the help of the academys professors, they divided the schools violists into three groups.\
b. \many of wolfgangs childhood compositions, such as the first seven of his concertos for piano and orchestra, are largely arrangements of works by other composers.\
c. \the students who would end up the best in their class began to practice more than everyone else: six hours a week by age nine, eight hours a week by age twelve, sixteen hours a week by age fourteen, and up and up.\
d. \of course, this doesnt address why some people get more out of their practice sessions than others do.\

Explanation:

This question asks for the sentence that directly links increased practice to better performance. Option C explicitly states that top students practiced more hours as they got older, directly connecting more practice to being the best in class. The other options do not establish this link: A is about grouping students, B is about a composer's works, and D questions practice efficiency rather than linking practice amount to success.

Answer:

C. "The students who would end up the best in their class began to practice more than everyone else: six hours a week by age nine, eight hours a week by age twelve, sixteen hours a week by age fourteen, and up and up."
