Patti: Most parents are eager for their preschoolers to learn as much as possible. However, instead of providing general opportunities for their children to learn, parents often direct their children' s learning to their own personal concerns. Because children have a natural curiosity and thirst for knowledge, they learn an enormous amount simply through growing and adapting to the world. Ttherefore, this type of directed learning is unlikely to improve a child' s preschool education. Which one of the following is an assumption on which Patti's argument depends? ['The type of directed learning in question is not a necessary part of the process of growing and adapting to the world.', 'Children will have difficulty adapting to the world without the unique help and guidance of their parents.', 'The type of directed learning in question is likely to enhance the general opportunities for children to learn.', 'General opportunities to learn are not typical of the early years of formal education.']
