I don’t have the two passages here, so I can’t pick one of A–D for you. Please paste both passages (or summarize them briefly).
If you want to decide on your own, use this quick checklist to match the passages to the choices:
1. Identify each author’s main claim about school start times (do they want later starts, earlier starts, or something else?).
2. Note the type of support each author uses:
- Do they cite university studies, named organizations, statistics, or other research? -> “uses research”
- Do they rely mainly on personal anecdotes, opinionated language, or general assertions without cited evidence? -> “speaks from personal opinion”
3. Look for specifics in each passage:
- If both authors use research and both favor later starts -> choice A.
- If passage 1 uses research and passage 2 is personal opinion -> choice B.
- If passage 1 accepts that teens need more sleep but argues against later starts because of many impacted factors (and thus supports early start) -> choice C.
- If passage 1 is purely opinion with no evidence and passage 2 cites studies in support of later starts -> choice D.
Paste the passages and I’ll pick the correct option and explain why.
