Cleo is writing an essay arguing that her school should open at 8:30 a. m. instead of 7:30 because it would benefit the student body. Which claim is the most effective for her argument?

-Kennedy High School should open at 8:30 a. m. instead of 7:30 because students would get an extra hour of sleep, improving their health and brain function.
-Kennedy High School should open at 8:30 a. m. instead of 7:30 because students would get more sleep, making them healthier—although some would take advantage of the change and go to bed later.
-Kennedy High School should open at 8:30 a. m. instead of 7:30 for seniors only because they have earned that special privilege and it would serve as motivation for younger grades.
-Kennedy High School should open at 8:30 a. m. instead of 7:30 because many students arrive late as it is and this change would mean that more students get to class on time.

Kennedy High School should open at 8:30 a.m. instead of 7:30 because students would get an extra hour of sleep, improving their health and brain function.

Explanation:

The words 'improving their health and brain function' are consistent with the topic Cleo is writing about. The other options don't mention anything about improving the student body, so the first option is the correct one. Hope this helps!

Kennedy High School should open at 8:30 a.m. instead of 7:30 because students would get an extra hour of sleep, improving their health and brain function.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
