Question

the author argues that taking the company’s money for the scoreboard is a mistake. what is the third claim that the author makes to support this argument? the ads will force students to wear uniforms to school. the scoreboard will stop the school from getting other sponsors. the ads will soon cost the school a lot of money. the scoreboard will lead to more marketing in the school.

Explanation:

The author's core argument is that accepting company money for the scoreboard is wrong because school experience should not be for sale, even when external parties offer to pay. We need to identify which option aligns with supporting this claim.

• The first option about uniforms is unrelated.
• The second option about losing other sponsors is not mentioned.
• The third option about high costs is not part of the author's reasoning; the author says external parties will pay, so cost is not the issue.
• The fourth option states the scoreboard will lead to more school marketing, which supports the author's claim that school aspects are being commercialized (sold), which the author opposes.

Answer:

D) The scoreboard will lead to more marketing in the school.
