Which of the following inferences is best supported by the passage (paragraph 11)?
The presumption is that if a child believes he's smart (having been told so, repeatedly), he won't be intimidated by new academic challenges. The constant praise is meant to be an angel on the shoulder, ensuring that children do not sell their talents short. But a growing body of research—and a new study from the trenches of the New York City public school system—strongly suggests it might be the other way around. Giving kids the label of "smart" does not prevent them from underperforming. It might actually be causing it.
Answer choices for the above question
A. Parents don’t want children to to sell their talents short because they want to convince other people that their children are smart.
B. It is common knowledge that praising children for intelligence can be detrimental, but most parents do it anyway.
C. Parents are unaware that praising their children’s intelligence may not always inspire confidence and achievement.
D. The problem of praising children for their intelligence is more common in New York than in other areas of the United States.
