Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
The passage is about the consideration of a four - day school week and students' dislike of Mondays. The first statement about energy efficiency and greenhouse gases has no relation to the four - day school week or students' views on Mondays. The second statement about a proposed eight - hour school day in Idaho is related to school - day length and students' attention span, which is relevant to the overall school structure discussion in the passage.
# Answer:
Relevant Information: "Contemplating a proposed eight - hour school day in Idaho, one sophomore said, 'I don't think I'd be able to pay attention at all'."
Irrelevant Information: "Greater energy efficiency and new technologies hold promise for reducing greenhouse gases and solving this global challenge" (EPA.gov).
