Question

the movement of the progress bar may be uneven because questions can be worth more or less (including zero) depending on your answer. why did the author write this passage? to persuade students to stop working to inform teachers about student labor statistics to inform teenagers about both sides of the student work issue to persuade students to work more hours reading passage should you work during the school year? by staff writer maryam khan 1 every tuesday and thursday, high school junior kayla morrison goes to a local café—not to eat, but to work. for the last four months, shes been working at the café those two afternoons a week and every saturday morning. 2 kayla is one of the many american high school students who work. in fact, around eighty percent of all high school students will have had some kind of job by the time they graduate. but is working during the school year a good thing? lets find out. benefits 3 kaylas friend sergio morales is a senior who works fifteen to twenty hours a week

Explanation:

The passage starts by presenting a student who works (Kayla Morrison), then mentions the prevalence of high - school students working. It then has a section titled "Benefits" which implies that it will discuss positive aspects. Since it is likely to present both the fact that students work (a neutral presentation) and then move on to discuss benefits (a positive side), it is aiming to inform teenagers about both sides of the student work issue. The first option "to persuade students to stop working" is incorrect as there is no indication of that. The second option "to inform teachers about student labor statistics" is wrong because the target audience seems to be students (given the examples of high - school students like Kayla and the question "Should You Work During the School Year?"). The fourth option "to persuade students to work more hours" is also incorrect as there is no persuasive language towards increasing work hours.

Answer:

to inform teenagers about both sides of the student work issue
