Question 5 • Language Arts 9

Pedro is writing an essay arguing that students should be taught proper nutrition in school. Which claim is most effective for his argument?

Answer

Proper nutrition is essential to healthy growth and development, so it is a life skill that students should learn in school.

Eating healthy is important for students because it promotes healthy growth and development throughout one’s lifetime.

Most students are taught about healthy eating at home, but for those who are not, they should learn about it in school.

Some students don’t know which foods are the healthiest, so school would be the ideal place to learn proper nutrition.

Explanation

Choice A connects both the importance of nutrition and where students should learn it. Choice C explains why healthy eating matters but does not argue that schools should teach it.
