Question

which text evidence from the selection best supports that people should be open - minded about the results if they decide to start a participatory budgeting program?
a one participating student said the process made her feel that her \voice actually does count.\ (paragraph 6)
b the system used by most schools involves first setting up a committee of students who are recommended by their teachers and elected by their peers. (paragraph 7)
c additionally, some people say that giving everyone from students to administrators an equal vote devalues the education and experience of the adults traditionally responsible for creating school budgets. (paragraph 9)
d \we dont know what the students will come up with. its a point of tension, but thats part of the process.\ (paragraph 10)

Explanation:

To determine the best text evidence, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Talks about a student's feeling of having a voice, not about being open - minded about results.
• Option B: Describes the committee setup process, not related to being open - minded about results.
• Option C: Discusses a criticism of equal voting, not about being open - minded about results.
• Option D: The quote "We don't know what the students will come up with. It's a point of tension, but that's part of the process." implies that when starting a participatory budgeting program, one should be open - minded about the (unpredictable) results, as they don't know what to expect.

Answer:

D. "We don't know what the students will come up with. It's a point of tension, but that's part of the process." (paragraph 10)
