Select the correct answer.
Malik is writing a report urging schools in his school district to start organic farming programs for students. He is analyzing an informational
document from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) for his report. Read this excerpt from the source:
Hawaii offers successful examples of how federal funds can help local agencies achieve their community food system goals. Kona Pacific
Public Charter School was awarded a $3 million direct loan through the USDA rural development program. The project financed the
purchase and expansion of a 38-acre parcel of land with an organic farm and a small elementary school campus. The space emphasizes
Kona Pacific's educational focus on agriculture. An on-site garden serves as a platform for multidisciplinary lessons and a place where
students grow crops using traditional cultivation techniques.
What conclusion can Malik draw after examining this information?
CA All schools with on-site gardens receive federal funds to support community food systems
B. Schools can use federal resources to promote the study of community food systems
Oc Communities in Hawaii place emphasis on improving student and community health
D.
Schools such as Kona Pacific Public Charter School focus on organic farming education

Answer:

I think the correct answer is B. Schools can use federal resources to promote the study of community food systems.

Explanation:

A. is not a good answer because we do not know if ALL SCHOOLS with on-site gardens receivr federal funds...

C. is not a good answer because we do not know if communities in Hawaii place ephasis on improving student and community health. This story tell us about only one school in Hawaii that happened to get federal funds.

D. is not a good answer because we do not know if Kona Pacific Public Charter School focuses on organic farming education. We just know that they have an organic farm on their 38-acre parcel of land, and the on-site garden serves as a platform for mutidisciplinary lessons.

B. Schools can use federal resources to promote the study of community food systems is the best conclusion that Makik can draw because we know that

1. Kona Pacific Public Charter School has an on-site garden where students can grow crops using traditional cultivation techniques, and

2. the garden was established using a $3 million direct loan from the federal government through the USDA Rural Development Program.

One more thing to note... The first sentence of the excerpt is:

Hawaii offers successful examples of how federal funds can help local agencies achieve their community food system goals.

I hope this is correct and I hope it makes sense. Good Luck!
