Passage Summary: Since kids are bored by history because of all the numbers and dates, the author thinks the best way to teach it is to tell stories about famous people instead.

Conclusion: The most effective method for teaching history is to prioritize biographical stories while significantly reducing the focus on dates and statistics.

Reasoning: Students find history boring primarily because current teaching methods emphasize dates and statistics too heavily.

Analysis: This argument assumes a direct link between 'not being bored' and 'the best way to teach.' It also assumes that the proposed solution—biographies—won't just introduce a new kind of boredom or fail for some other reason. Since this is an 'EXCEPT' question, four of the answers will be things the author *must* believe for the logic to hold, such as the idea that students aren't also bored by biographies. The odd one out will likely be something that is either irrelevant or goes way beyond what is strictly necessary for the argument to function.
