I would answer with C. because it is stating that students should have a more low-carb high-vegetable base meal plan in school lunches. This fits the negative tone of the sentence and agrees with it, so this would be the answer.
A. could technically be correct, but it does not flow with the tone of the sentence, as it has a negative connotation
B. Doesn’t have anything to do with the topic sentence, obviously elimination.
D. also doesn’t have anything to do with the topic sentence. Wrong because there is nothing mentioned about meat or organic foods.
I believe it to be 'Fleas' by Ogden Nash
THe second sentence is using present participle because you said " I promise" not "promised". Saying promise is when you are saying it at the time and saying promised means you've already said it. Like with how you said "kissed" instead of "kiss" in the first sentence.
