Question

Which introduction would BEST address the topic of cafeteria trays and food waste for a school audience reading an argumentative essay?



Every student knows that school lunches are sometimes boring, but there’s something else about lunch that causes a problem—too many trays full of wasted food.

Cafeteria food doesn’t always taste great, and sometimes students skip lunch altogether.

In our school, teachers are always reminding students to keep the cafeteria clean and quiet.

Many schools have changed their lunch menus, offering more fruits and vegetables to help students eat healthy.
Question 8.b
Part B

Which sentence should be added to provide the BEST conclusion to the paragraph?

The cafeteria should also add new menu items to make students more excited about eating.

Students should remember to recycle their trays when lunch is over each day.

Getting rid of trays may seem like a small change, but it could make a big difference in reducing waste at our school.

Not every student likes the idea of eating without a tray, but that’s just how school lunches are sometimes.

Answer 1

Part A: "Every student knows that school lunches are sometimes boring, but there’s something else about lunch that causes a problem—too many trays full of wasted food." — it directly introduces trays and food waste (the essay’s topic).

Part B: "Getting rid of trays may seem like a small change, but it could make a big difference in reducing waste at our school." — it provides a clear, relevant conclusion and call to action tied to the paragraph’s argument.
