Pretest

Question 7 • English II

Manjit is writing an argumentative essay to support her claim that her high school should not start classes before 9 a.m. This is one of her reasons. Student Work Teenagers learn better if they have had enough sleep. Which evidence best supports the reason?

Answer
A
Teenagers who start school later might not have time for after-school sports.
B
Teenagers who are tired are often tardy or fall asleep in class.
C
If students start school later, it could make parents late for work.
D
Students should go to bed earlier so they will not be so tired in the morning.

Explanation

The reason is that teenagers learn better when they get enough sleep, so the strongest evidence should connect tiredness with difficulty participating in school. Choice B says tired teenagers are often tardy or fall asleep in class, showing how not getting enough sleep can interfere with learning. The other choices focus on scheduling concerns or advice about bedtime rather than supporting this reason.
