Answer:
Dear Headmaster,
I’m writing to let you know some ideas I have that might be useful to improve my academic performance as well as that of my classmates.
I’ve recently discovered there´s a large amount of information in the library that hasn´t been digitalized nor listed on our online catalogs that could be very useful if more available. Some students are already sharing information about these hidden gems and would be happy to make it public through institutional channels.
Furthermore, many students struggle to get some of the assigned books, either for their unavailability on campus, their high price to buy, or the lack of new publications of a specific book. And yet many will be willing to trade used books for those they need. A book trade fair could be a good idea!
Finally, I´m a little concerned about the lack of options in the cafeteria. I know this might seem like a minor issue, but many of us are vegetarians or have dietary issues that should be addressed. Some students not only started bringing their own food but have also started selling meals to their classmates as a way to make some money. Maybe a food court that allowed them a more institutional setting could help us all.
I hope these suggestions are helpful. Please let me know if I can help in any way.
Thanks, and best wishes,

Answer: 4. The only one for all the island’s students.
Explanation: In the given excerpts from "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy" we can see allusions to the school of the town, in the first excerpt, the speakers refers to the school as " the trimmest building on the island" and in the second excerpt we can see a description of the discussion between the people in town, because some of them want to keep the school up and others don't want to. Both excerpts reveal that the story takes place in the distant past because the school is the only one for all the island's students.
