Is Homework Truly Beneficial? Select the correct answer. Read the introductory paragraph of an argument. What type of the claim is the author making? Two decades ago, researchers believed that homework had a negative impact on students' physical and emotional health; yet many students are still bogged down with hours of homework as early as the second grade. According to research by several universities, elementary students spend an average of 3 hours per week doing homework.

In fact, students today spend more than double the time on homework compared to students two decades ago. Sadly, as homework time doubles, student performance continues to decline. So how then is homework helping? Homework is harmful and not the answer to student success. ОА. solutions claim OB. fact claim ОС. cause claim OD value claim​
