best: ⓐ fl-ela.k12.ee.1.1, fl-ela.k12.ee.2.1

Explanation:

To determine the author's likely agreement, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A "Point essay" (presumably advocating for volunteering) would not agree volunteering is worthless. Eliminate A.
• Option B: The essay’s purpose (implied by "Point essay" likely supporting volunteering) would not argue students should spend less time on volunteering for schoolwork. Eliminate B.
• Option C: The essay’s stance (supporting volunteering) would not suggest replacing volunteering with unstructured play. Eliminate C.
• Option D: If the essay promotes volunteering, it makes sense the author agrees students needing a "nudge" (encouragement) to become interested in volunteering aligns with advocating for it.

Answer:

D. Students need a nudge if they’re going to become interested in volunteering.
