Question

manjit is writing an argumentative essay to support her claim that her high school should not start classes before 9 a.m. this is one of her reasons. teenagers learn better if they have had enough sleep. which evidence best supports the reason? teenagers who are tired are often tardy or fall asleep in class. if students start school later, it could make parents late for work. students should go to bed earlier so they will not be so tired in the morning. teenagers who start school later might not have time for after - school sports.

Explanation:

To support the reason that teenagers learn better with enough sleep, we need evidence showing the negative impact of lack of sleep (from early classes) on learning. The first option shows tired teenagers (due to early classes/lack of sleep) being tardy or sleeping in class, which harms learning. The second option is a drawback for parents, not related to teens' learning. The third option suggests a solution (go to bed earlier) instead of supporting the need for later classes. The fourth option is a potential drawback of later classes, not supporting the learning - sleep connection.

Answer:

A. Teenagers who are tired are often tardy or fall asleep in class.
