Question

Paragraph A
Many middle school students say they don’t have enough time to finish homework. They often juggle after‑school activities, chores, and family responsibilities. Because of this, they feel stressed when assignments pile up.
Which sentence should be added to the END of Paragraph A to strengthen the introduction and better guide the argument?

A.
This issue affects students differently depending on their weekend routines.


B.
This concern raises the question of whether homework policies should be updated to support student well‑being.


C.
Some students complete their homework easily while others struggle with time management skills.


D.
Many students participate in activities like sports or clubs after school hours.

Answer 1

B

Sentence B turns the paragraph's problem into a clear issue to be argued—whether homework policies should be changed to protect students' well‑being. The other choices are either redundant (D), off‑topic/narrow (A), or merely restate variability without guiding the argument (C).
