Question

starting a new school year is something i have always been reluctant to do, but i dread it for a strange reason. im not scared of my teachers. im not fretting over what shoes im going to wear. i dont hate math or social studies. no, nothing like that. most of my friends dread going back to school for the usual reasons: because it means the end of summer, because they simply do not like school. me, i actually like school. i just hate having to learn a new schedule!

my perfect schedule

in an ideal world, each school year would be structured the exact same way as last years. i would always have math first period, english second, and social studies third. then i would have lunch before starting on biology, art, and ending the day with gym.

i can live with the fact that we have to study different subjects each year. after all, there is no point in re learning the same concepts

challenge question
which of the following will be true about the narrator after he or she starts school this coming year?
a the narrator will be starting at a brand new school.
b
the narrator will have the exact same class schedule for the second year in a row
c the narrator will be unable to memorize a new school schedule
d the narrator will be in his or her second year out of elementary school

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The text says the narrator dreads starting a new school year for the reason of learning a new schedule, not that it's a brand - new school. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: The narrator states "In an ideal world, each school year would be structured the exact same way as last year's" and hates having to learn a new schedule. This implies that the narrator would like to have the exact same class schedule as the previous year, so B is correct.
• Option C: The narrator hates learning a new schedule, but there's no indication that the narrator is unable to memorize it. So C is incorrect.
• Option D: There is no information in the text about the narrator being in the second year out of elementary school. So D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. The narrator will have the exact same class schedule for the second year in a row
