Creating a Blog

Question 4 • 2026 Summer 305 ELA/ESOL CR_Grade 7

A student is writing a blog claiming that homework should be banned. Which sentence provides evidence to support the student’s claim?

Answer

“Homework teaches students to be more responsible, to stay organized, and to manage their time well,” says high school math teacher Gloria Wilson.

“Homework plays an important role in making my children better students,” says parent Scott Bly, “and it keeps them more engaged in their classes.”

“Homework usually takes me about two hours to complete each night,” said middle school student Tamara Castro, “but sometimes it takes even less.”

“Homework often prevents kids from exploring other interests after school, such as music and dance,” said professor of education Dr. Herman Moore.

Explanation

The claim is that homework should be banned, so supporting evidence should describe a harmful effect of homework. Choice D says homework can prevent children from exploring interests such as music and dance, which supports the claim. The other choices describe benefits of homework or say it takes a limited amount of time.
