Question

Use the passage to answer the question.

Claim: The more daylight in the afternoon before the sun sets, the safer we are and the more active we can be. Therefore, we should make daylight savings time permanent.
A student is writing an argument supporting the claim above. What should they include in the concluding statement? Select the two correct answers.

(1 point)

The Romans and other ancient civilizations used different scales for different times of year, so the idea of daylight savings time is not a new one.

Police departments throughout the United States report a significant increase in robberies after daylight savings time ends.

Permanent daylight savings time equals more safety and more productivity, so it is good for all of us.

If you agree with me, contact your elected representative and urge them to sponsor legislation to makes daylight savings time permanent.

While some say that daylight savings time boosts productivity and activity, scientific studies have shown that the opposite is true.

Answer 1

Correct answers: 3 and 4.
