Question 1 of 3

Read the excerpt below. "In our town, we have started a new recycling program. Recycling helps protect the environment because it reduces the amount of trash that ends up in landfills, which can leak harmful chemicals into the soil and water. It also saves energy because making products from recycled materials uses less energy than making them from raw resources. By recycling, we keep our community clean and safe for future generations." Which of the following is a reason the speaker gives to support the point that recycling helps protect the environment?

Question 2 of 3

Ms. Rivera says: "Our school should have a garden because it will give us fresh vegetables for the cafeteria. Studies show that children who eat vegetables are healthier and have more energy for learning. Also, gardening can teach us how plants grow and how to take care of the environment." Which of the following is a reason the speaker gives for having a school garden?

Question 3 of 3

Read the speaker’s excerpt below: "Hello everyone. I think our school should start a composting program. Composting turns food scraps into soil that plants need to grow. When we compost, we send less waste to the landfill, which reduces harmful gases that cause pollution. Also, compost helps the garden grow bigger tomatoes." Which of the following is a reason the speaker gives to support starting a composting program at school?
