Passage

A speaker claims: “Our school’s new study-skills workshop caused students to improve in reading. Twenty students attended the workshop and their average reading score rose by 6 points. But the speaker does not mention that the 20 students were chosen because they were already improving the fastest during the previous month.”

Which critique most directly challenges the conclusion that the workshop caused the improvement?
