Explanation
The paragraph says teachers and custodians complain about wrappers, containers, and fruit peelings left on the floors and in hallways. The proposed trial would test whether students can keep the school clean, so the central issue is the trash associated with vending machine snacks. The paragraph mentions hunger and snacks as benefits, not as the main problem.
