Question

which statement best describes how the two authors differ in their purpose for writing about year - round school? read - aloud of passages (1 point) passage 1 explains both benefits and challenges, while passage 2 focuses on presenting problems with year - round school. both passages list only disadvantages of year - round school. passage 1 argues strongly against year - round school, while passage 2 argues strongly for it. both passages avoid using evidence about academic performance.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: If Passage 1 covers both benefits (pros) and challenges (cons), and Passage 2 focuses on problems (cons), this is a valid difference in purpose.
• Option 2: Saying both list only disadvantages is incorrect as Passage 1 (per the option) has benefits, so this is wrong.
• Option 3: The option states Passage 1 is against and Passage 2 is for, but the first option's description is more consistent with typical year - round school passage analyses (one balanced, one critical).
• Option 4: The idea that both avoid academic performance evidence is not related to the purpose of writing about year - round school differences, so it's incorrect.

Answer:

A. Passage 1 explains both benefits and challenges, while Passage 2 focuses on presenting problems with year - round school.
