Question

While most citizens were in favor of making the environment a key component of the curriculum, a small minority had an aversion to change and thwarted the plans by organizing demonstrations. In response to these demonstrations, a group of concerned students wrote editorials in the local newspaper supporting the environmentally focused curriculum. One of the students wrote, “The school board's proposed curriculum may be unconventional, but it is also more inventive and pragmatic than many of the obsolete courses the school offers annually." The result is that students wrote editorials in the local newspaper. What was the cause? Think about cause-and-effect relationships. A) Students wanted different teachers to teach the new curriculum. B) A small group organized demonstrations against the curriculum change. C) A small group wanted the students to pay for any changes that had to be made. D) Students wanted a completely different curriculum rather than the current one.

Answer 1

Answer: B

Explanation: B. A small group organized demonstrations against the curriculum change.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B) A small group organized demonstrations against the curriculum change.

The cause was that a small group organized demonstrations against the curriculum change.

The many editorials that were written in the newspaper were in response to the small minority that had an aversion to change and thwarted the plans by organizing demonstrations. This represented the active participation of the group of students that favored changes in the school curriculum and that support the environment. That is the only way to exert some kind of pressure to defend their right to have a better curriculum that makes them progress.
