Question

1. how does the author establish a main disadvantage of virtual schooling?

○ by explaining the challenges students face when dissecting a frog at home
○ by outlining statistics that prove students prefer hands - on learning to online learning
○ by providing examples of how student learning can get disrupted by computer issues
○ by illustrating why students in traditional classrooms are taught using old - fashioned methods

Explanation:

To determine how the author establishes a main disadvantage of virtual schooling, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Explaining challenges (like dissecting a frog at home) shows practical difficulties in virtual learning, highlighting a disadvantage.
• Option 2: Statistics on preference don’t directly show a disadvantage of virtual schooling, just a preference.
• Option 3: Computer - related disruptions are not the main way to show virtual schooling’s disadvantage (focus is on hands - on vs virtual, not computer issues).
• Option 4: Traditional classroom methods are irrelevant to showing virtual schooling’s disadvantage.

So the correct option is the one about explaining challenges students face (first option: by explaining the challenges students face when dissecting a frog at home).

Answer:

by explaining the challenges students face when dissecting a frog at home
