Answer:

Your answer would be A.

Explanation:

Sentence A has an error in subject-verb agreement. Subject-verb agreement refers to the fact that the subject and the verb in a sentence must agree in number. In other words, they both must be singular or they both must be plural. In the sentence above, the NP subject "official procedures" is plural, so the verb should also be plural, but it is singular "calls". The -s indicates that the verb is in the third person singular. Consequently, the subject and the verb do not agree in number, making the sentence ungrammatical (see 1).

1) *Official procedures calls for students who are tardy three times to serve detention

pochemuha

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The author's claim is "Schools should do a better job of regulating what their students eat and drink on campus."

The argumentative paragraph includes reasoning, but lacks evidence. Including the support "Many studies have shown that schools who offer healthy alternatives to traditional menu items have a reduced number of obese students." provides a statistical answer to strengthen the argument.

The answer is B.
