Answer

Brief Explanations:

Sentence 5 provides numerical data (the number of students with unsatisfactory scores shrank, and proficient/advanced scores rose) which is tangible proof of the "miracle" (improvement in students' academic performance). Sentence 1 just introduces the people. Sentence 2 is a metaphorical description. Sentence 3 is about their role as advocates. Only Sentence 5 has concrete, measurable evidence.

Answer:

D. Sentence 5.
