Question

Read the article below carefully and answer the question that follows. On the morning of July 15, 2006, fourteen school buses were vandalized. The buses, property of Walt Whitman Middle School, were parked in the "bus barn" on campus. The vandals spray-painted the buses with pictures of dogs. Dogs happen to be the mascot of rival school Edgar Allan Poe Academy. This has led some to believe that some students from EAPA may be the culprits in the incident. Says the mother of one Walt Whitman student, "Oh, yeah, the [Edgar Allan] Poe [Academy] kids are definitely responsible. Those kids don't have any discipline, and they're still stewing over the loss of last week's football game." Police, however, say that they currently have no suspects. Which of these best describes the subject of the article?

the vandalizing of several school buses

the lack of discipline of Edgar Allan Poe Academy students

the rivalry between Walt Whitman Middle School students and Edgar Allan Poe Academy students

last weekend's football game and its consequences

the vandalizing of several school buses by Edgar Allan Poe Academy students

Answer 1

The vandalizing of several school buses by EAPA students.

Answer 2

B. the lack of discipline of Edgar Allan Poe Academy students

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the article, it is evident that the students of Poe academic were not well disciplined. When Poe was furious he decided to send Allan a long letter that he explained his anger, he informed him he had no energy or finances that will help in stay in the academy.

However, the Academy required the permission of Poe before making withdrawal and he said that if Allan were not going to release then he would be forced to kick him out himself. This is a clear show that there was no discipline in the academy.
