Revise the student's draft by choosing the *TWO* sentences that give the strongest evidence to support and develop the underlined claim.


In fact, putting limitations on anything helps make things more beneficial for people.


Student(s) may have thought this made a good point that helps support the argument that ads should be allowed on school buses.


Ads would need to be limited to those that target adults outside of the school buses and not the children inside.


A school district can bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue from the ads over the course of several years.


An advertising program can greatly benefit a school district as long as there are limitations put on the ads.

Answer: "A school district can bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue from the ads over the course of several years." & "Ads would need to be limited to those that target adults outside of the school buses and not the children inside."

Explanation:

The sentence "In fact, putting limitations on anything helps make things more beneficial for people." sounds short with no proof or evidence.

"Student(s) may have thought this made a good point that helps support the argument that ads should be allowed on school buses." They may have given some evidence, but it's not the strongest.

"An advertising program can greatly benefit a school district as long as there are limitations put on the ads." This is basically just rewording the claim.

The other two sentences are correct because it shows strong proof of the reasons in a understanding way.

Lorenzo had been the star of the Broncos football team ever since the first grade. His teammates knew he was the Most Valuable Player, even when the coach gave the award to someone else. Lorenzo could play whatever position the team needed him to play. He could play quarterback, running back, or wide receiver. He could also play three positions on defense, and his tackles were fierce.
In sixth grade, LaShonda tried out for the team. She was very fast and taller than most of the boys. Lorenzo hoped the coach would cut her, but she worked very hard during tryouts, taking hits and making plays. The coach was impressed, and he gave her a spot on the team.
"I don't care what Coach says," Lorenzo told his friends Mack and Juan. "She's going to make us lose a lot of games. Girls just don't belong on this team."
In the first game of the year, Lorenzo played quarterback. He had helped the team score two touchdowns, but the Broncos were still down by three points with one minute left in the game. On the next play, Lorenzo held the ball and looked for someone to throw it to. Suddenly, a huge player on the other team broke through the pack and started coming after Lorenzo. Lorenzo ran! If he got tackled, his team would lose, but the other player was coming at him fast.
Then, from his left, Lorenzo saw LaShonda running hard toward him. She darted past Lorenzo, leaped at the player who had been chasing him, and knocked him to the ground. Lorenzo threw the ball to a receiver in the end zone. The receiver caught the ball, and the Broncos won the game.
After the game, Lorenzo found LaShonda as she was getting into her mom's car. "I think we're going to have a new Most Valuable Player this year," he told her.

Which of the following best describes Lorenzo at the beginning of the story?
A.
talented and stubborn
B.
kind and intelligent
C.
slow but strong
D.
accepting and talented

Article: Stop Feeding Wild Birds

Again I need help on this English exercise

In the early days of arctic exploration, dogsled was often the only way to travel. The ice, snow, and extremely cold weather made using other animals, such as horses, impossible. Snowmobiles were not invented yet. Most explorers journeyed by ship until the ice made it impossible to continue. Then, they would switch to dogsled. The dogs, working together, were a well-oiled machine that could cover long distances in the cold.

Sled dogs needed to have long, warm coats to survive the arctic temperatures. They had to be fast and able to run for long distances while pulling a heavy load. Most importantly, they had to work together as a team. This made northern dogs, such as Siberian huskies and Alaskan malamutes, the best choices for the sled teams. These dogs have long coats, with a double layer of fur to keep out the cold, and they have wide paws with webbed toes that act like snowshoes. They have been bred for more than 9,000 years to be working dogs in extreme winter weather. They are friendly, team-oriented, and purposeful dogs. In the days of the arctic explorers, the physical features and determined personalities of the sled dogs made long journeys in harsh conditions possible.

To be in the best condition for pulling heavy loads, the dogs needed a diet that was high in fat. They ate whale and seal blubber and fatty meats during their long journeys, which kept them strong and gave them energy to keep going. The dogs' paws also needed special care to make sure that they did not become injured by sharp ice or extreme cold. Treating the paws with fat or wax helped the dogs to run safely and comfortably.

Although the days of arctic explorers are long past, sled dogs continue to run through the snow and ice of the North. Dogsledding is now recognized as a sport, with many competitions taking place all over the world. One of the most well-known of these is the Iditarod, a race of almost 1,000 miles. It commemorates the Great Race of Mercy that took place in 1925 when dog sled teams were the only hope of a town that needed life-saving medicine. The race takes 8–11 days to complete and is run regardless of weather conditions. Teams of twelve or more dogs train with their handlers for years before competing. The race is long and one of the most challenging in the world. Dogs and their handlers must be in top physical condition to have any chance of winning.

During the race, the dogs get multiple rest stops and are checked by veterinarians to make sure they avoid injuries. They eat high-fat, high-protein foods to give them the energy to continue, just like the dogs of the arctic explorers did. With the same determination that drove the dogs of the 1925 Great Race of Mercy, the dogs competing in the Iditarod run through even the worst blizzards and race to win.

Which information would disprove the author's point that sled dogs need a long coat?

Long coats keep the dog's abdomen and legs warm in extreme temperatures.
Long coats get matted with ice and mud, making it difficult to keep clean.
Long coats act as insulating blankets, making the dogs kennels a safe temperature.
Long coats are easy to care for since the dogs shed their coats when it is warm.
