Speaking and Listening: Planning a Multimedia Presentation — Quiz

Question 6 • English Language Arts 9

Read the claim and reason. Claim: Our school cafeteria should offer more meatless main dishes. Reason: There are a significant number of vegetarians attending our school. What evidence best supports the student’s reason?

Answer

Though school food is funded by state and county governments, the menu is determined by school cafeteria staff.

Vegetarians rely on beans, nuts, and Greek yogurt as alternate sources of protein in their diets.

The results of a student survey suggest that twenty-three percent of the students consider themselves vegetarians.

Salads and meatless pasta dishes add variety to school menus and provide vegetarians with possible choices.

Explanation

The reason claims that a significant number of students at the school are vegetarians. Evidence that directly shows how many students are vegetarians is strongest: the survey found that 23 percent consider themselves vegetarians. The other choices discuss menu decisions, sources of protein, or possible meal options, but do not show how many students are vegetarian.
