Question

read - aloud of passages
both passages mention that year - round school does not always improve academics. how does each author use this evidence?
(1 point)
○ passage 1 ignores this evidence, while passage 2 focuses on it heavily.
○ passage 1 uses it to show the issue is complicated, while passage 2 uses it to support the claim that year - round school has many drawbacks.
○ both passages use it to show strong support for traditional schedules.
○ passage 1 uses it to argue against year - round school entirely.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• First option: If Passage 1 ignored the evidence, it wouldn't mention it, so this is wrong.
• Second option: Using the evidence to show the issue is complicated (Passage 1) and to support drawbacks (Passage 2) is consistent with the idea that year - round school not always improving academics can be used to show complexity or drawbacks.
• Third option: The evidence is about year - round school not always helping academics, not about supporting traditional schedules, so this is wrong.
• Fourth option: Just because it doesn't always improve academics doesn't mean Passage 1 is against it entirely, so this is wrong.

Answer:

B. Passage 1 uses it to show the issue is complicated, while Passage 2 uses it to support the claim that year - round school has many drawbacks.
