Question

Read this excerpt from a passage.

"Every Tuesday and Thursday, high school junior Kayla Morrison goes to a local café—not to eat, but to work. For the last four months, she’s been working at the café those two afternoons a week and every Saturday morning. Kayla is one of the many American high school students who work. In fact, around eighty percent of all high school students will have had some kind of job by the time they graduate. But is working during the school year a good thing? Or should students wait until they graduate to find employment? Let’s find out."



Which of the following subjects will be compared in the rest of the passage?


working during the school week and working only on the weekend


high school juniors and high school freshmen


working during high school and not working during high school


eating at a café and working at a café

Answer 1

working during high school and not working during high school

The passage raises the question of whether students should work during the school year or wait until after graduation, so it will compare working while in high school versus not working until after.
