Pretest

Question 5 • Language Arts 9

A health teacher gives a class this assignment. Review your class notes about nutrition. Decide what you consider the most important rule of good nutrition for high school students. Write a claim and support it with reasons and evidence. Which statement best expresses a strong claim for this assignment?

Answer
A
Eating breakfast is the key to adolescent good health because it recharges energy levels, boosts brain function, and promotes healthy choices.
B
Breakfast is essential, and every adolescent can choose a favorite cereal or bagel to begin the day with carbohydrates.
C
Don’t push that snooze alarm one more time; you need to get out of bed and make time for a healthy breakfast to start your day right.
D
If you ever find yourself yawning on the bus or dozing off in class, the key to waking up your teenage brain lies on your morning breakfast table.

Explanation

A strong claim clearly states a position and supports it with relevant reasons. Choice A argues that eating breakfast is key to adolescent health and gives three reasons: it restores energy, boosts brain function, and promotes healthy choices. The other statements focus on specific foods, use a catchy scenario, or give advice without supporting the claim as fully.
