Question 7 • TX-Communication Applications

Which statement best supports the claim that starting school later in the day is good for high school students’ ability to learn?

Answer
A
Starting school later in the day would keep students from working after-school jobs.
B
Most of the students reported that they would be in favor of starting school at a later time.
C
Many students reported feeling stressed by their extracurricular responsibilities and activities.
D
Recent research shows that teenagers’ brains are most open to learning between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Explanation

The claim is specifically about students’ ability to learn, so the strongest support is evidence about when teenagers are best able to learn. Choice D says research finds their brains are most open to learning between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., which directly supports starting school later. The other choices discuss jobs, student preferences, or stress rather than learning ability.
