Below is an excerpt from an informational essay that a student wrote. Based on a recent study, school lunches have been shown to be an important factor for students in schools. Students that eat a healthy lunch perform better on high stakes tests and are reportedly healthier and happier. Furthermore, good nutrition is important for children in the developmental process. So really, it's pretty obvious how important it is to make school lunches number one! Which of the following is the best way to revise the underlined sentence for appropriate language while maintaining the same meaning? A. Really, it is pretty obvious how badly we need to do something with lunches. B. In conclusion, it is important that schools prioritize nutrition in order to maximize the benefits to children. C. We need to do something, because obviously we need better lunches badly. D. Students perform better at a statistically significant level when they are provided with something to eat.
B. In conclusion, it is important that schools prioritize nutrition in order to maximize the benefits to children.
B. In conclusion, it is important that schools prioritize nutrition in order to maximize the benefits to children.
The best way to revise the underlined sentence for appropriate language while maintaining the same meaning is option B. "In conclusion, it is important that schools prioritize nutrition in order to maximize the benefits to children."
This option maintains the tone and meaning of the original sentence while using more formal and appropriate language. It highlights the importance of schools prioritizing nutrition for children's benefits, as discussed in the rest of the essay.
