in a student meeting, classmates were asked to suggest ways to make the cafeteria cleaner and more welcoming. andre said everyone should take pride in keeping the space tidy because that creates a positive school environment. what does the phrase positive school environment in the passage most likely mean?
a. a place where rules dont matter
b. a place where everyone feels respected, safe, and supported
c. a school where only grades matter
d. a building that looks new

Explanation:

The phrase "positive school environment" implies a setting that is conducive to well - being. Option A ("rules don't matter") is incorrect as a positive environment likely has some order (rules). Option C ("only grades matter") is too narrow and doesn't capture the essence of a positive environment which is more holistic. Option D ("building that looks new") is about physical appearance only. Option B ("everyone feels respected, safe, and supported") aligns with the idea of a positive environment where people thrive.

Answer:

B. A place where everyone feels respected, safe, and supported
