Question

imagine you are trying to convince your districts school board that changing the high school start time from 7:10 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. would benefit all students. which appeal would most likely move this audience to support your cause? a. i consulted the records in the office, and they show that 75 percent of the students at our school arrived late to at least one class in the last semester. b. you probably dont remember how hard it is for young people to get up early, but i am a teenager, and im telling you, its practically impossible. c. studies show that teenagers bodies have a biological drive to stay awake fairly late at night, so early start times lead to a constantly overtired student population. d. it frustrates my parents when i sleep through my alarm and have to ask them to drive me to school - a situation that would not occur with the later start time.

Explanation:

A school - board is likely to be moved by evidence - based appeals. Option C presents scientific studies about teenagers' biological sleep patterns, which is a more objective and persuasive argument compared to personal anecdotes or opinions in the other options.

Answer:

C. Studies show that teenagers' bodies have a biological drive to stay awake fairly late at night, so early start times lead to a constantly overtired student population.
