Read the scenario about a formal discussion. Members of Roosevelt High School’s student board are discussing a plan to eliminate unhealthy foods such as pizza and french fries from the school lunch menu. One student says, "Pizza and french fries are the highest-calorie items on the menu and have more than the recommended daily amount of sodium.” Which follow-up question best demonstrates attention to the student's claim?
Answer
A
Do sweet potato fries have fewer calories than regular french fries?
B
What are the calorie and sodium counts for these items?
C
How do you know that pizza and french fries have the most calories?
D
What is wrong with having unhealthy foods some of the time?
Explanation
The student makes two specific claims: pizza and french fries have the highest calorie counts and contain more than the recommended daily amount of sodium. Asking for the calorie and sodium counts directly follows up on both parts of that claim. Choice C asks only how the student knows about the calorie ranking, while B asks for information about both calories and sodium.
