Read the paragraph from a student’s draft of a letter to the editor of the school newspaper. Select the sentences that should be revised to better match the style of the letter. Choose two sentences.
I am deeply concerned about the recent cancellation of reduced lunch options for the entire ISD. I understand that the school staff is concerned about the lack of funds. However, the neighboring ISD folks are still offering free or reduced lunch options to kids in their schools. Many students can only afford to eat two meals at school and go hungry at home. Indeed, the likelihood of famished children regressing in their academic performance would be quite high. That's why I'm very disappointed that this academic year, free or reduced lunch options in the ISD have been canceled. I certainly hope the authorities will reconsider.
