A student is writing a letter to the school principal. Read the draft of the letter and complete the task that follows. Dear Principal Wells, In order to relieve problems related to homework at Harkins Middle School, I propose the school schedule be extended by one hour. The extra time could be devoted solely to students completing class assignments and teachers assisting those who need help with homework. With an additional hour, students could focus on getting tasks done without the distractions that are common outside of school like television, siblings, and chores. Sometimes teachers run out of time in class to present material in new ways. The added hour could be used to give students the extra support necessary to master the concepts being taught. This change in schedule would solve almost all issues related to incomplete and missing student assignments. Even though people enjoy getting out of school to do fun activities like sports, music, or club meetings, those events can happen an hour later. Sincerely, Joseph Grant Which sentence provides the best conclusion to the paragraph?

• Both the teachers and students know that completing assignments and developing life skills are important.

• The sacrifice of an added hour would help the school and the students achieve their learning goals.

• After-school activities occurring later would be fine, especially since students would have little to no homework in the evening.

• If additional time were added to the school day, teachers might need to make adjustments to their after-school schedules as well.
