There has been much debate in our community lately about the
starting time of schools. It is clear from the evidence presented that
the high school needs to have a later starting time. Records show that
70 percent of tardy high school students show up before the end of
first period. Some residents believe that this is due to early morning
doctor appointments, but only eight percent of those students had
medical excuses. They are simply sleeping in. Additionally, parents of
unger children complain that they have to wait until 8:45 to see their
kids off to elementary school.
How would the author best respond to an opposing argument that claims
changing high school start and end times would interfere with bus
schedules?
A. By suggesting that changing start and end times would also
interfere with extracurricular activities
B. By illustrating the way that student achievement has been raised
as a result of later start times
C. By showing that the high school and elementary school bus
schedules could be swapped with little trouble
D. By comparing the number of students who attend high school to
the number of students who attend elementary school

This is basically process of elimination. Option A makes the author sound like she's agreeing with the opposing argument. Option B does not talk about anything related to bus schedules and Option D is only talking about the students that attend high school and elementary school not talking about how the situation can be fixed.

The greatest way the author addresses a counterargument is by demonstrating how easily the bus schedules for the primary and high schools may be switched. So, option (C) is the correct answer.

What is the best opposing argument as per the bus schedules?

The author of the given passage argues that high school should start later.

They also offer evidence in support of this assertion, stating that 70% of high school students who are tardy arrive before the conclusion of the first period and that majority of them do so because they slept in.

They merely arrive late to class because it starts too early for them, and if it started later, they would likely perform better. Although not mentioned directly, it is implied.

And in essence, this is an elimination procedure.

The author seems as though she is endorsing the opposing position in Option A.

Option D just discusses the students who attend high school and elementary school without discussing how the situation can be remedied, while Option B only discusses the students who attend high school and elementary school.

As a result, option (C) is the best claim about the bus schedules.
