Answer:
I think the correct answer is B. Schools can use federal resources to promote the study of community food systems.
Explanation:
A. is not a good answer because we do not know if ALL SCHOOLS with on-site gardens receivr federal funds...
C. is not a good answer because we do not know if communities in Hawaii place ephasis on improving student and community health. This story tell us about only one school in Hawaii that happened to get federal funds.
D. is not a good answer because we do not know if Kona Pacific Public Charter School <em>focuses</em> on organic farming education. We just know that they have an organic farm on their 38-acre parcel of land, and the on-site garden serves as a platform for mutidisciplinary lessons.
B. Schools can use federal resources to promote the study of community food systems is the best conclusion that Makik can draw because we know that
1. Kona Pacific Public Charter School has an on-site garden where students can grow crops using traditional cultivation techniques, and
2. the garden was established using a $3 million direct loan from the federal government through the USDA Rural Development Program.
One more thing to note... The first sentence of the excerpt is:
Hawaii offers successful examples of how federal funds can help local agencies achieve their community food system goals.
I hope this is correct and I hope it makes sense. Good Luck!
