Answer the question based on the passage given below.
Children tend to swallow anything from buttons to toy parts or coins when they're young. But try to get them to swallow a tiny pill and it can often end in tears and frustration. So how do you get a young sick child to take tablets? A recent study from the Netherlands suggests that the tricks tried by parents and doctors to get medicine into their children - grinding up a pill into jam, squirting a plastic syringe-full of medicine into the mouth or simply bribing a child to swallow medicines - are not necessary. It analyzed the acceptability of placebo, or dummy medicines. Parents were asked to give their children aged between 1 and 4 years - a pill or spoonful of medicine at home everyday. Nearly all of the children who took part in the study - 98% of them - were able to swallow the tablets successfully.
Which of the following most seriously weakens conclusion of the above study?
