Question

question 1 - 10
passage: a student editorial argues that standardized testing should be abolished because \students hate them\ and
question: what revision would most strengthen the editorials argument?
remove references to any outside research to preserve tone.
focus only on unrelated school policies.
incorporate studies showing correlations between test - related anxiety and academic performance.
add personal anecdotes without broader context.

Explanation:

The original argument that students hate standardized - testing is weak as it is based on opinion. Incorporating studies showing correlations between test - related anxiety and academic performance provides empirical evidence, strengthening the argument. References to outside research can enhance credibility, focusing on unrelated school policies is off - topic, and adding personal anecdotes without context is less reliable than studies.

Answer:

C. Incorporate studies showing correlations between test - related anxiety and academic performance.
