A student is writing an argumentative article for class and wants to revise it to add supporting evidence. Read the paragraph fr

om the student’s article and answer the question that follows.
Among the many good reasons for schools to opt for a later starting time is that high school students are exhausted. Homework, sports, jobs, and social activities all compete for students’ after-school hours, which often extend late into the night. The reality, then, is that most teens do not get enough sleep. A high school that changes its starting time from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. is likely to see improvements in student attendance and performance.
Which sentence provides the BEST support for a claim made in the paragraph?

A
A national survey found that adolescents who get insufficient amounts of sleep are more likely than their peers to get lower grades, while 80 percent of adolescents who get an optimal amount of sleep say they’re achieving As and Bs in school.

B
Researchers found that adolescents who drink two or more caffeinated beverages daily are more likely to get an insufficient amount of sleep on school nights and think they have a sleep problem.

C
A high school in Prima Vista, CA, reported that after moving its opening bell later, to 8:15 a.m., students were more likely to arrive at school on time and were less likely to be recommended for summer school to make up missed classes.

D
In one recent study, 90 percent of parents polled believe that their adolescent is getting enough sleep at least a few nights during the school week.

Not everyone speaks the same language, nor can anyone speak everything single language. It can be tough communicating with people of different languages. Sometimes the best we can do to communicate is pointing, using symbols, and watching there body language. although we all may not speak the same language, we all do speak the same body language.

in the story Flowers for Algernon, explain what Charlie's report, "The Algernon-Gordon Effect" reveals about the results of the
lawyer [7]
The "Algernon-Gordon Effect", in Charlie's words, is "the logical extension of the entire intelligence speed-up", which can be described in the following terms:

"Artificially-induced intelligence deteriorates at a rate of time directly proportional to the quantity of the increase".

In other words, the smarter a subject becomes after the experimental operation, the faster that newly-gained intelligence will eventually disappear.

At the height of his intelligence after his operation, Charlie studies his own and Algernon's progress, collecting data and performing mathematical analysis on what he has found.  He is disturbed because he has observed that Algernon's development suddenly begins to deteriorate, and, knowing that the same thing is going to happen to him, he struggles to find out why, while he still has the mental capacity to do it.  Charlie does indeed figure out the reason for Algernon's, and eventually his own, precipitous decline.  He writes up his findings in a report which he sends to Professer Nemur, which affirms that "the surgery-and-injection techniques develooped by (the Professor) and Dr. Strauss must be viewed as having little or no practical applicability, at the present time, to the increase of human intelligence".  In laymen's terms, the experiment is a failure (August 26).

When Charlie returns to work immediately after his operation, his co-workers treat him as they always have, some with an attitude of friendly comaraderie and others with cruel teasing.  Charlie has not yet noticed any changes as a result of the surgery and has been instructed not to tell anyone what the operation was supposed to do, so his co-workers do not know that anything might be different about his intelligence.  When it soon becomes evident that Charlie is becoming smarter and better able to understand the various facets of his job, his boss is amazed, and gives him more responsibility.  As he begins to advance in the business, however, some of his workmates, specifically those who had treated him so badly before, react with jealousy and resentment (March 21, April 1).

What is the subject of the excerpt?
Cloud [144]

I believe that It is C, because although the passage does focus on Mathilde's love for expensive things, broadly the subject is how Mathilde is discontent with the lifestyle she is now living, and D is too broad, and B is also too broad.
