Critics of President Bush's education initiative that required annual testing of students felt that
O it raised standards to levels that were difficult to meet.
O some students would benefit more than others.
students' performances in the sciences would decline over time.
O teachers would focus too much on tests and neglect other subjects.

The right choice is:

Teachers would focus too much on tests and neglect other subjects.

Explanation:

That was the main complaint of the Bush initiative´s critics. Some people pointed at the fact that the new regulations did not address deep educational inequalities in states and nationwide; other critics said that focus on testing was forcing schools to divert resources and staff from other successful programs.

D. teachers would focus too much on tests and neglect other subjects.

Good luck

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.
