Determining the answer to this question is all about vocabulary. In the prompt it tells you to convince the members. Convince is a synonym for persuade. When you are persuading someone to do something, you are trying to convince them that it is a good idea so they will do it. Keep in mind that it is not forceful. To convince or persuade someone of something, you must make clear and decent arguments as to why it is a good idea. The next pieces of vocabulary that are important are "fall break" and "week-long respite". When talking about school and a fall break, a person is talking about a break from school, also known as a vacation. The word respite also means break or vacation. Once we know the meaning of all these words, we can see that the prompt is asking us to persuade the audience to add a vacation to the calendar in the fall.
