A student is writing a letter to the principal for a class assignment on homework policies. The student wants to improve the introduction in his opening paragraph. Read the following text from the student's draft and complete the task that follows it.
I would like to change the homework policy. Four hours of homework is too much. It is time for a change. Students spend seven hours in school and two hours commuting to and from school. The current policy only permits students three hours for eating, extracurricular activities, family time, and relaxation. I believe that this policy is unreasonable and I would like to suggest adding ninety minutes to the school day in place of homework.
Revise the underlined portion of the student's opening paragraph. Which sentence would add a better introduction to the draft?
A.
Above all, I would like to alter the Jackson High School homework policy.
B.
First, I am writing you to request that our school's homework policy be altered.
C.
Respectfully, I am writing you to request a change in our school's homework policy.
D.
Further, students at Jackson High School receive four hours of homework, which is overly stressful.
