In the experiment, researchers posed simple questions in geometry to children from varied backgrounds. One group consisted of 7-to-13-year-old children of the Mundurucu, an isolated indigenous group in the Amazon basin. The Mundurucu children, who had no formal training in geometry, answered the questions just as quickly and accurately as did French children of the same ages who did have formal training in geometry. In contrast, 5-year-old North American children had much more trouble answering the questions. The researchers concluded that some basin geometric knowledge is innate, but this innate knowledge typically develops only after age 5.

In the table, select the statement that would, if true, most strengthen the researchers' conclusion and most weaken it, respectively. Make only two selections, one in each column.
Most strengthen Most weaken  
North American children 7 to 13 years old had much more trouble answering the questions than did the Mundurucu of the same ages
None of the 5-year-old north American children had ever studied any geometry
Mundurucu children who were 5 years old had just as much trouble answering the questions as did the 5-year-old north American children
The researchers posed the same questions to 5-year-old French and Mundurucu as they posed to the 7-to-13-year-old children
Most of the children studied answered one or more of the questions incorrectly
