1. The excessive absences policy will be changing next year.
2. The new policy states that credits will be denied to students who have more than ten absences each year.
3. Students with excessive absences will then have to appeal to the school board for reconsideration.
4. Doctors' excuses may be used during the appeal process.
5. Most doctors will not make appointments after 3:00 in the afternoon.
These sentences are part of a paragraph about school absences. Which sentence from the paragraph does not support the main idea and should be removed to improve the logic and coherence?
Sentence 5 ("Most doctors will not make appointments after 3:00 in the afternoon.") does not support the main idea and should be removed. The previous sentences are all discussing a new excessive absences policy, the consequences of excessive absences, and the potential appeal process. The fact that most doctors do not make appointments after a certain time is not directly related to the school's absence policy or the procedure for dealing with excessive absences. Removing this sentence would improve the logic and coherence of the paragraph.
