Question

What would make the best claim for this written argument?
Read the paragraph.
The schoolwide food drive is an important program that helps the community and instills a sense of responsibility in students. Last year, students collected over 600 canned goods and gave them to the Neighborhood House food
pantry, which serves some of the neediest families in our community. Furthermore, many students said that helping
with the drive was the first volunteer program they had ever participated in. Finally, without the student council's support,
the food drive will not be officially promoted within school and will likely languish. Therefore, it is imperative that the student
council continue to encourage students to volunteer for this
important program.

what would make the best claim for this written argument?

I have volunteered for food drives and found the
experience rewarding.

Food drives will often collect hundreds of cans for needy
people.

The Neighborhood House is an important part of our
community.

The student council should continue to support the schoolwide food drive.

Answer 1

Answer:

The student council should continue to support the school-wide food drive.

Explanation:

In the given passage, the main claim of the whole argument seems to rely on the fact that the student council's support is important for the survival of the food drive. The food drive may help support the students to learn about responsibility and help those communities in need. But without the support of the main student council, none of the efforts will come to fruition.

So, whether the students manage to collect and help support the communities, everything rests on the support of the student council. They are the backbone of the whole operation. The statement "without the student council's support, the food drive will not be officially promoted within the school and will likely languish" rightly provides the proof that the council is the most important part of the whole process.  

Thus, the best claim for the given argument is option 4/ the last option.
