Read the passage. Then, answer the questions that follow. Our school’s mission statement stresses community, cooperation, and pe

rsonal and intellectual growth. But one of our school’s practices—selecting a valedictorian and salutatorian each year—does not support our mission. This practice is divisive, it is unfair, it is archaic. So let’s end it now! For some students, jockeying for these positions begins when they start high school. They choose classes they can ace, as well as AP and IB courses that boost their grade-point averages, rather than ones that excite their interest or challenge them. They pay plenty and spend hours in classes that promise to raise standardized test scores. Successful candidates are routinely accused of gaming the system. The formula for selecting the two “top” students is complex; selection can turn on several zeroes after a decimal point. At several schools around the country, students who lost out as valedictorian have sued. Is this the kind of situation we want to encourage at our school? Which of the following sentences most clearly expresses an opinion? A. Our school’s mission statement stresses community, cooperation, and personal and intellectual growth. B. This practice is divisive, it is unfair, it is archaic. C. They pay plenty and spend hours in classes that promise to raise standardized test scores. D. The formula for selecting the two “top” students is complex; selection can turn on several zeroes after a decimal point.

The answer to the question "Which of the following sentences most clearly expresses an opinion?" is B.

This practice is divisive, it is unfair, it is archaic. 

The word unfair is a key word to knowing that is in opinion, because there is no factual evidence to tell you that it is fair or unfair. Opinions can be backed by facts, but can not be proven.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer/Explanation:

Blogs are like a journal that people post online. Since you are technically not writing a "real" blog, you may use "WORD", which is Microsoft Word. If you want to use a blog site, you could use "Blogger" for example. <u>It does not matter where you do the blog</u>, as long as you type it out.

Blogs are written in first person, using "I", "me" or "my". They include personal ideas and perspectives.

Writing a blog about your story is like writing a <u>commentary or review</u> about it. <u>Pretend you did not write the story</u> and you have just read it. First, introduce the story with the author and a summarize it. You can include things like plot insights and analyses of your story, your personal opinion of why it was good or bad, or what you thought of the characters.

Remember to include a title, your name, and the date. The formatting does not matter as long as it's logical (near the top somewhere).

If you need some examples or ideas, you can search up "book blogs".
