Question

read the excerpt from a text about online learning.
\virtual schools were growing quite quickly,\ said christina martin, a policy analyst at the cascade policy institute, a free - market think tank based in portland, ore....the big issue, she said, was fairness. some students have access to virtual schools because they have a learning coach to stay home with them, while others dont. also, internet connections can be costly, and not every family has one. and families have to pay for their own printing....
\an adult must stay with a child during the day and make sure theyre doing their work.\
this information would best support a claim about students need for
○ personal coaches.
○ internet supervision.
○ high - tech gadgets.
○ equal access to technology.

Explanation:

The excerpt focuses on fairness gaps in virtual school access: some students have learning coaches, while others do not; internet costs and printing expenses create barriers for low-income families. These points all relate to unequal access to the resources needed for online learning, which aligns with the claim about equal access to technology. The other options are too narrow: personal coaches are only one barrier, internet supervision is not mentioned, and high-tech gadgets are not discussed.

Answer:

equal access to technology.
