Question

read the text and study the pie chart.
fellow students,
during my campaign for student council president, i promised to make student council activities more transparent to members of the student body. in an effort to keep that promise, i am releasing the following budget created by student council members for the 2018 homecoming parade.
yours in team spirit,
javier guzman, student council president, parkway high school
how does the pie chart support the purpose of this document?
it illustrates the importance of funding school activities.
it reinforces the need for more transparency in spending.
it indicates the schools approval for the parade budget.
it gives specific cost information about a school event.

Explanation:

The document's purpose is to keep the promise of transparency about student council activities. A pie - chart showing the budget for the 2018 homecoming parade gives specific cost information (e.g., how much is spent on each category like float prizes, ribbons, etc.). This directly supports the goal of transparency by providing detailed financial data about a school event.

• The first option about funding school activities is too general. The document is about transparency of a specific event's budget, not just funding in general.
• The second option about reinforcing the need for more transparency in spending is incorrect. The document is not about showing a need but fulfilling a promise of transparency by presenting actual budget data.
• The third option about school's approval for the parade budget is not relevant. The text is about the student council president's promise of transparency, not school approval.

Answer:

It gives specific cost information about a school event.
