Answer:
Homework is harmful and not the key to student success
Explanation:
The above option is actually the best that serves the writer's claim.
This is true because looking at the passage, we see that after the student argued about the problem of homework and how it is not really beneficial to the students, the writer then went further to conclude that homework is harmful and not the key to a student's success.
So, the selected sentence is the correct answer.
This must be from a standardized test. The wording is a little confusing, but I'd say it is a metaphor. Google says the definition of metaphor is "a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable." This is saying something <em>is</em> something, or comparing two items without using "as" or "like". Have a good night/day!
