Read this excerpt from a blog. Many of our local schools are facing tough budget cuts. As a result, music and art programs are disappearing. Now the school board is considering dropping all after-school programs. This would be a huge mistake. After-school programs keep kids active, and they help keep kids in school. Research shows that the graduation rate for schools with after-school programs is sixty-five percent higher than that of schools without them. My friends and I all participate in after-school programs, and we are working hard to keep them in place. Please sign the petition at http://www. afterschool. org to show your support for after-school programs!

Which piece of research would best support the author’s argument that the school board should keep after-school programs in place?

a university study about how after-school programs help kids
a student poll that asks kids if they want after-school programs
a blog quiz that asks kids what they like to do after school
a state study about how kids spend their time after school
