Answer :
In the book "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminister Boy" by Gary D. Schmidt, Reverend Buckminister sides with the Phippsburg townspeople against the people of Malaga Island because the Reverend learns that Turner went to the island with Lizzie Griffin, an African American girl.
Turner first meets Lizzie, a negress, at the shore and takes an instant liking to her. She takes him to Malaga Island to meet her grandfather who is a preacher. Turner spends a glorious day on the island meeting Lizzie's neighbors and playing with the children. He enjoys "the cold wildness" of the island.
When he returns home, Turner finds the Phippsburg townspeople at his place and their leader Deacon Hurd convincing his father to get the island clear of all its dirty and stupid inhabitants so that it can be utilized for building a beautiful resort. The leader forces Turner to admit that he had been to the island with Lizzie. On learning this fact, Reverend Buckminister is forced to side with the Phippsburg townspeople.
Answer:
where are the statements?
Explanation:
Answer:
I would say
<em>"B. Exams show students' ability to take tests instead of their knowledge, so we should eliminate exams."</em>
Explanation:
<em>"A. Many students struggle with taking exams in school."</em> < This is not very elaborate, and is not a valid reason to eliminate testing.
<em>"C. Don't school exams just show how well students can take a test rather than what they really know?"</em> < This answer is informal, and is formatted as a question rather than a statement.
<em>"D. State tests are often a requirement in order to ensure state and federal funding for education."</em> < This is a good answer, with formal writing and a statement format, however, it is contradictory to the topic, and suggests that testing in schools should <em>not</em> be eliminated.
<u>Option 'B' tells us why exams are unnecessary using formal writing and a statement format. </u>
