"i don't know, i don't know," becky wailed, resting her head on the steering wheel. "i just get so tired of failing." listening quietly as becky sobbed, justin realized this was about much more than a driving test. he also knew if he didn't find a way to becky things would just get worse. chapter 2 justin took a deep breath and collected his thoughts. becky was an unbelievably consistent straight-a student. it was justin who got the bad grades in school, and justin who had to repeat every math class he'd ever taken. it was justin who wished he could get the grades becky got. some things came easier for justin: he was athletic, handy with tools, and good at making the best of whatever life threw at him. mom called him her "lemons into lemonade" kid. but for the most part, becky succeeded easily, whereas justin had to work and work to just get a passing grade. rather than having becky catalogue all the things she supposedly "failed" at, justin decided to try an alternative approach, one that wouldn't remind him of all the ways he had failed. "okay, becky, let's assume for a moment you fail this test again. what is the worst thing that could happen? " he asked. "i would be the oldest kid at school without a license and be humiliated," she replied. justin thought he heard a bit of panic in her voice but continued with his plan. "yes, but won't we still have to drive to school together for at least one more year anyway? " he asked. "yes, " she started. "and who will know, if you don't tell anyone except your friends, that you don't have your license? you know mom can't afford another car just for you, right? " "yes," she said quietly. "so what difference does it make, really," he said. "another three months to wait in the grand scheme of your life doesn't seem like all that long, right? " "i suppose not," she said. justin could tell she was breathing more slowly now. "besides," he said, "i would miss all the practice driving with you," and for good measure he reached over and pinched her arm. "ow," she said, hitting back at him, "that hurt." "so let's go do this, okay? "okay," she said. becky cranked up the car, backed slowly out of the parking spot and drove up to the parking lot's exit. justin noticed, as they waited for the traffic to clear, that she had remembered the turn signal. read the line below from chapter 1: "i don't know, i don't know," becky wailed, resting her head on the steering wheel. "i just get so tired of failing." in the rest of the story, readers learn that becky's fears are about things other than. explain how the the story devolops those fears

Read the sample student claim and the reasons listed for making this claim. claim: although many people argue that medical testing on animals is a violation of animal rights, the benefits it yields for society far outweigh any argument that can be made. reason #1: animal research has yielded both pain-relieving and life-saving drugs for humans. reason #2: laws prohibit scientists from using animal-based research in cases where non-animal testing would produce equally clear and valid results.
