A student is writing an argumentative article for class and wants to revise the draft. Read the paragraph from the student's article and answer the question that follows. We must, however, consider this debate about how to allocate funds for elective courses in a broader context. The hard decisions cannot be made without answers to these questions: What, exactly, is the "value" of art? Do we need art in our lives, and specifically in our schools?

B It's nearly impossible to believe in the face of such overwhelming evidence than anyone could argue against the importance of art, not just for high school students, but for all, from the cradle the grave, for art is what makes us human. C We've all had deep emotional responses to an experience with art, whether it be a painting, a piece of music, or the performance of a classical drama. D A study by the University of Arkansas concluded that visits to a specific art museum had a significant effect on critical thinking skills, historical empathy/understanding, and tolerance of other viewpoints.
