A) Yes, because every student is required to take English. B) No, he should have surveyed students attending the high school football game. C) No, he should have surveyed students in his PE class since all grades are represented in that class.

I think the correct answer would be that it is a good sampling method because every student is required to take English. So the data that he will obtain will be from all of the students. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
