Question

Read this prompt. Create a presentation to convince school board members that district 16 should add a week-long October break to next year’s school calendar, like other districts in the state. Which reason best supports the claim in this prompt? Schoolchildren need time in the fall to prepare for upcoming holidays. The number of school days required by the board is too many for students. Students need a break to study for their rigorous midterm exams. There are too many fast-approaching events on the school calendar.

Answer 1

Answer: Students need a break to study for their rigorous midterm exams.

Explanation:
