A student is writing an editorial and wants to revise the draft. Read the two paragraphs from the student's article and answer t

he question that follows.
I’m writing to express my support for the administration’s new “zero tolerance” policy regarding cellphone use during school performances and assemblies. The same policy has long been in place during school hours, due to the disruption and distraction the devices cause. It is more than reasonable to extend this policy to other school events.

At a recent orchestra performance I had full view of the glow of not one, not two, but three cellphones, their owners busily tapping out messages—for the duration of the performance. If those were emergencies, they were certainly long-winded ones. Granted, had I closed my eyes, the distraction would have been minimal. But it shouldn’t be my responsibility to ensure my enjoyment of the performance.



Which sentence would provide the BEST transition between the two paragraphs?
Group of answer choices
Some school events are, reasonably, excepted: sporting events, school assemblies, and any other event that doesn't require quiet and close attention.

Call it common courtesy, the social contract, whatever you like—it is absent among my peers, and the administration has made the right call.

My understanding is that the administration has faced some opposition for this policy, but I would expect the outcry to die down quickly.

Some have argued that the ability to communicate is a safety issue; I can assure you that most of the time this is not what is at stake.

Answer:

D. Some have argued that the ability to communicate is a safety issue; I can assure you that most of the time this is not what is at stake.

Explanation:

A good transitional sentence between two paragraphs should enable logical connection between the ideas conveyed through them.

The first paragraph states the author's support to the "zero tolerance" policy regarding use of the cell phones during school activities.

The second paragraph provides an example of excessive use of cell phones during a school orchestra performance that clearly wasn't an energency use.

So, logical connection would be the one introducing cell phone use a safety, emergency issue.

I need a speech for student council, im running for president. Help?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

I have ran and failed before. I learned my mistakes the next year and became VP. You really need to show what you can do to change what is bad. Students want to elect someone they like and know is competent. Be a leader in the classroom. Participate in class discussions and get good grades, it’s how you’ll prove your competence. Don’t be the class clown or the student who’s always on their cell phone or asleep. Make posters. The posters can be super simple; even just a print out of the slogan on normal computer paper will work. However, you should have a lot of them. The exact number will vary proportionally to the number of students in your class (or school, if you’re running for the overall Student Government President). What I mean by that is if your class has 100 students, 10 posters may be enough, but if you have 1000 students in your class, you may want to put up 50 or more posters. Count on some posters being ripped down or disappearing. Most schools have rules against this, but it’s hard to catch someone ripping down a poster. Plan on making extras. Some of these tips helped me in becoming VP so I hope this will help you.
