appeal would most likely move this audience to support your cause?
A. Studies show that teenagers' bodies have a biological drive to stay
awake fairly late at night, so early start times lead to a constantly

class in the last semester.
D. You probably don't remember how hard it is for young people to
get up early, but I am a teenager, and I'm telling you, it's practically
impossible
