California is one of only four states where you need more than just a majority of voters to approve a bond issue to build new sc

hools. Not coincidentally, California ranks 49th out of 50 states in terms of classroom crowding. Most of our schools are 30 years or older. Proposition 26 would allow school construction bonds to pass with a majority vote instead of the current two-thirds requirement. A majority vote is only fair. Currently, every "no" vote counts twice as much as every "yes" vote. Of course it's easy to argue for Proposition 26 in Palo Alto, where voters understand the importance of a good education. Here, voters have been generous to the school system over the years, and bond measures have passed with far more than the two-thirds vote necessary. But that's not true elsewhere in California, especially where schools fall well below national standards. We're not saying that school spending means higher test scores, but it's hard for students to learn in crowded, cold, or crumbling classrooms. And these students are the workforce of tomorrow we're talking about, which is why many employers in the Silicon Valley are backing Proposition 26. 4 Choose the correct answer. Which statement best shows a central idea of the passage? A. California needs to work towards fixing their energy problem. B. California needs a voucher school funding system to offset the funding problems. C. Voters in America consider education an important issue. D. Voters should pass Proposition 26 because many of the state’s schools are failing.

Which option shows articles and modifiers being used​ correctly?
Tems11 [23]
The correct answer is C. <span>She lives on the twentieth floor of an old apartment building somewhere in Manhattan.
First of all, in front of 'twentieth floor,' there has to be the article THE, because there is only one 20th floor in a building. Additionally, in front of 'old apartment building,' there has to be the article AN, because we don't know which building exactly + the word starts with a vowel, so it has to be AN rather than A.
