The correct answer is B. Schools should move away from standardized testing because tests often do more harm than good.

Explanation:

A claim is a statement used to express one's position towards an issue and that is used in essays or speeches with persuasive purposes. Additionally, a claim is considered as narrow and focused when it addresses only one specific point in a broader topic and this is clearly stated rather than including multiple points or including concepts that are not related. Considering this, the claim that is the narrowest and most focused is "Schools should move away from standardized testing because tests often do more harm than good" because this claim is specific as it addresses "standardized testing" and also provides one specific and clear reason for this that is "do more harm than good". Also, other options address more than one point or include concepts that are not related to the point addresses and therefore are broad and are not focused.

Why, now you speak
Like a good child and a true gentleman.

And am most sensible in grief for it,
It shall as level to your judgment pierce
As day does to your eye.

5’4’’ is less than 5’6’’ so we can conclude that astou is shorter.

2.She is the nicest person I know.

As you can tell from the first sentence, Jane is a very nicest person. Which means that the second sentence would be stating that she is the nicest person the speaker knows.

3. Emily is funnier than Abduol.

As said in the first sentence Emily is better at telling jokes than Abduol, which makes her funnier than him.
