What effect does the program have on Rameck? .​
AysviL [449]

Answer:

It Is <u>C: He Appreciates The Academic Intensity</u> if that is the whole question down there :)

Explanation:

If This Is The Full Question : Read the excerpt from Sampson’s speech in We Beat the Street. Classes lasted every day until five, and after dinner they went to required tutoring sessions, where each student got help in areas of need. Their test scores began to rise. In the evening the students were required to study. No television was allowed during study hours, and bedtime was mandatory at ten P.M., which none of them liked very much. "This feels like boot camp,” Sampson whispered to Rameck one night after lights out. "Yeah, but it feels good, man. It’s like doing push-ups with my brain!” What effect does the program have on Rameck? He struggles to meet the physical challenges. He resents the limitations imposed upon them. He appreciates the academic intensity. He appreciates the instructor’s attitude. <u>Then The Answer Is True</u>.

1. Netta and Jim argued over their views of free trade.
Ronch [10]
I think that the best answer here is "sharply": it implies a judgement: that the speaker thinks that they were very split over their differences.
All the other options refer to facts, even if the facts are about arguing, which itself is loaded emotionally.
