numbers dont always tell the truth. writers and politicians often play with the results of studies so that the numbers appear to support their point of view. these tricks can lead millions of readers to believe false information. high schools should require all students to take statistics classes.

Explanation:

The hook is "Numbers don't always tell the truth". The thesis is "High schools should require all students to take statistics classes". The bold - faced text (bridge) is about writers, politicians, and false information. It does not directly connect the hook (numbers' truthfulness) to the thesis (statistics classes in high - schools). There is no clear logical link shown between the misuse of numbers by writers and politicians and the need for high - school statistics classes.

Answer:

Weak: Doesn't Effectively Connect to Thesis
