Let’s first understand the difference between a intransitive and transitive verb.
A transitive verb is a verb that does need an object.
EXAMPLE: I bought a new notebook.
An intransitive verb is a verb that does not need an object.
EXAMPLE: The dog barked.
Here would be a sentence to change the transitive verb to an intransitive:
“The pilot did a successful job doing the test flight.”
This would be transitive because an object is needed at the end of the sentence, other wise the sentence wouldn’t make complete sense.

Answer:
All though the two arguments are correct, I lean towards the 2nd argument. School gardens do not improve student's scores as they would if the student was well educated. The student will not learn from a garden. The surroundings will be better but can not help them. As it states in the second claim "America’s test scores continue to lag behind". Even if we have school gardens. But, the first argument is right in a way if the student is already well educated and knows the curriculum there surrounding may improve their learning by wanting to learn because they are more comfortable. These claims are strong because they do have facts and claims from others. They lean towards one side and are informative.
Hope this helps. : )
The sentence that contains a mistake with the use of apostrophe is "The restaurants reputation and success depending on keeping a high healthy rating."
In this case, there are two possible answers to indicate a possessive case:
1) an apostrophe should be placed after the word "restaurant's" if it refers to one restaurant only
"The restaurant's reputation and success depending (depend) on keeping a high healthy rating."
2) an apostrophe should be placed after the word "restaurants' " if it refers to restaurants in general
"The restaurants' reputation and success depending (depend) on keeping a high healthy rating."
The rest of the sentences does not violate the rules of apostrophe usage.
