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.

Natali [406]
"Get over the fact that you didn't make it on the cheerleading team," she said, "and just try to <span>get on another team." contains correct punctuation, since when a sentence is interrupted by naming the speaker a comma must always be used when reintroducing the next segment. </span>

How does the use of the word transformed support the claim in this passage?
Lera25 [3.4K]

From the 1750s on, sugar transformed how Europeans ate. Chefs who served the wealthy began to divide meals up. Where sugar had previously been used either as a decoration (as in the wedding feast) or as a spice to flavor all courses, now it was removed from recipes for meat, fish, and vegetables and given its own place—in desserts. Dessert as the extremely sweet end to the meal was invented because so much sugar was available. But the wealthy were not the only ones whose meals were changing. Sugar became a food, a necessity, and the foundation of the diet for England's poorest workers.

It indicates that the addition of sugar was a significant change to Europeans' diets.

Answer: Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the paragraph that has been shown above, the way the Europeans ate in the 1750s and the change in their way of eating has been talked about. It shows that there has been addition of sugar in their diet.

Earlier sugar was only used as a way of decoration or as a spice to flavor up all the courses. But later the intake of sugar increased a lot in the diet of the Europeans and it became a necessity, it became a food.
