Question

Read the article below carefully and answer the question that follows.

On the morning of July 15, 2006, fourteen school buses were vandalized. The buses, property of Walt Whitman Middle School, were parked in the "bus barn" on campus. The vandals spray-painted the buses with pictures of dogs. Dogs happen to be the mascot of rival school Edgar Allan Poe Academy. This has led some to believe that some students from EAPA may be the culprits in the incident. Says the mother of one Walt Whitman student, "Oh, yeah, the [Edgar Allan] Poe [Academy] kids are definitely responsible. Those kids don't have any discipline, and they're still stewing over the loss of last week's football game." Police, however, say that they currently have no suspects.

Which of these best describes the subject of the article?
A) the vandalizing of several school buses
B) the lack of discipline of Edgar Allan Poe Academy students
C) the rivalry between Walt Whitman Middle School students and Edgar Allan Poe Academy students
D) last weekend's football game and its consequences

C) the rivalry between Walt Whitman Middle School students and Edgar Allan Poe Academy students

Explanation:

The main theme of the article is to get to know the rivalry betweent he two schools, and how the vandalizing of the school buses are a consequence of that, they do not tell you that they´re guilty, but they lead you on to believe that the other highschool did it, otherwise they wouldn´t talk with the mom that says that the other school is responsible, it is irrelevant to the article if you just want to tell the story of some vandalized school buses.
