As a professor of environmental studies at the University of Nebraska, I was alarmed to discover that local farmers are increasing their use of pesticides on wheat fields. While these chemicals help to get rid of the insects that damage the crops, they also cause great harm to butterfly and honey bee populations. These insects are a necessary part of our ecosystem because they spread pollen that allows our plants, flowers, and crops to grow.

A student is writing a blog claiming that homework should be banned. Which sentence provides evidence to support the student’s claim?

“Homework often prevents kids from exploring other interests after school, such as music and dance,” said professor of education Dr. Herman Moore.

“Homework teaches students to be more responsible, to stay organized, and to manage their time well,” says high school math teacher Gloria Wilson.

“Homework plays an important role in making my children better students,” says parent Scott Bly, “and it keeps them more engaged in their classes.”

“Homework usually takes me about two hours to complete each night,” said middle school student Tamara Castro, “but sometimes it takes even less.”
