Use “On the Road to a Better School Bus” (pp. 8–9) to answer the question.
Which sentence from the selection suggests that Jonny needed to convince his community that his invention was worthwhile?
But for 12-year-old Jonny Cohen, the smell of exhaust from the buses parked in front of his junior high school got him thinking about school buses and how much gasoline they use.
