Answer: "A school district can bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue from the ads over the course of several years." & "Ads would need to be limited to those that target adults outside of the school buses and not the children inside."
Explanation:
The sentence "In fact, putting limitations on anything helps make things more beneficial for people." sounds short with no proof or evidence.
"Student(s) may have thought this made a good point that helps support the argument that ads should be allowed on school buses." They may have given some evidence, but it's not the strongest.
