Question

consider this claim
skipping a grade benefits students who are excelling in school.
which is the strongest evidence to support the claim?
dr. martin luther king, jr., and supreme court justice sandra day oconnor both skipped two grades.
in recent years, a number of education specialists have argued for what is called \single - subject acceleration\: moving a student who shows a strong aptitude for a certain subject into a higher grade level for that specific subject.
a professor of gifted education asserts that studies on the impact of grade skipping have demonstrated positive academic outcomes, including higher grade point average and school satisfaction.

Explanation:

The claim is about the benefits of grade - skipping for high - achieving students. The first option is an example of two individuals who skipped grades but does not directly show the benefits. The second option is about a different form of acceleration (single - subject) and not directly related to the general claim of grade - skipping. The third option, with a professor of gifted education citing studies that show positive academic outcomes (higher GPA and school satisfaction) from grade - skipping, provides the most direct and evidence - based support for the claim.

Answer:

A professor of gifted education asserts that studies on the impact of grade skipping have demonstrated positive academic outcomes, including higher grade point average and school satisfaction.
