Question

read paragraphs 5, 6, and 7 from the passage.
what is the authors main idea in these paragraphs?
sending low - income children to private school is the best way to ensure they receive an excellent education.
dual - language public schools are an absolute necessity for larger cities with high immigrant populations.
families should have a choice in where to send their children to school to allow them to reach their academic goals.
school choice programs that keep needy children in the public school system is an idea worth considering.

Explanation:

The passage discusses the link between education and poverty. Paragraphs 5 - 7 likely focus on school - choice programs. Option 4 mentions school - choice programs that keep needy children in the public school system. The other options are either too specific (like private school in option 1, dual - language schools in option 2) or not supported (option 3 about family choice without context of public school system as in the passage's likely focus on public - school - based solutions for low - income children).

Answer:

School choice programs that keep needy children in the public school system is an idea worth considering.
