Question

read the claim and the supporting evidence.
claim: schools should be in session year - round.
evidence: parents who work outside the home struggle with finding care for their children during long school breaks.
why does the evidence support the claim? choose the analysis that better explains the connection.
accommodating parents is an important part of a school district’s responsibilities.
school districts should require that all schools be on a year - round schedule.

Explanation:

To determine why the evidence supports the claim, we analyze the options. The claim is that schools should be year - round. The evidence is parents struggling with child care during breaks. The first option, "Accommodating parents is an important part of a school district’s responsibilities," explains the connection: if accommodating parents is a school responsibility, and parents struggle with child care during breaks, then having year - round school (which would reduce long breaks) helps accommodate parents, thus supporting the claim. The second option just restates the claim without explaining the connection to the evidence about parents' child - care struggles.

Answer:

A. Accommodating parents is an important part of a school district’s responsibilities.
