Read this prompt. Create a presentation to convince school board members that district 16 should add a week-long October break to next year’s school calendar, like other districts in the state. Which reason best supports the claim in this prompt?
Answer
A
Schoolchildren need time in the fall to prepare for upcoming holidays.
B
Students need a break to study for their rigorous midterm exams.
C
The number of school days required by the board is too many for students.
D
There are too many fast-approaching events on the school calendar.
Explanation
A strong reason should show how a week-long break in October would benefit students. A break gives students time to study for midterm exams, which supports the proposed calendar change. The other choices focus on holidays or general concerns without connecting as directly to students’ academic needs.
