Question

1. what is cooper trying to do throughout the story?

get mr. nitman to update his water fountain policy
find someone else who disagrees with the class rules
explain how mr. nitmans class rules are dangerous
prove his lunch detention from mr. nitman was unfair

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the options. The question is about Cooper's goal in the story. Typically, in such literary analysis (Arts - Literature subfield), we recall the story's context. If the story involves Cooper addressing a water fountain policy issue with Mr. Nitman, then the first option fits. Assuming the story's plot has Cooper advocating for an updated water fountain policy (e.g., access - related), this option is correct. Other options: finding others who disagree is not the main goal, explaining danger of rules or proving detention unfair don't align with the typical plot for this setup.

Answer:

A. Get Mr. Nitman to update his water fountain policy
