Explanation:

The claim is about how mandatory current - events classes in US high schools would improve students' reading and test - taking abilities. The first option is a rhetorical question and not strong evidence. The second option is about student interests in a journalism class and not directly related to reading and test - taking.

Answer:

Education World reports that "students who use newspapers [in class] tend to score higher on standardized achievement tests—particularly in reading, math, and social studies—than those who don’t use them."
