Traditionally, students raise money for the big graduation party by holding car washes, walkathons, and other events throughout the year.
However, the student council has proposed that the party be paid for
out of the school's annual budget instead, so that students can focus
on schoolwork and activities rather than fund-raising. Do you think that
students should continue raising the money for the graduation party?
Which claim most appropriately responds to the requirements of the prompt?
O A. Students should continue paying for the graduation party, because
the experience of raising money teaches many important lessons.

one of the most important rituals of growing up and something
that motivates students all year long.
O C. Some of the most important skills for success in school and
beyond are working together as a team, meeting goals, and
learning to be independent.
O D. Glen Valley Middle School is known to have the best graduation
party in town, and it is paid for by a combination of school support
and student fund-raising
