Final answer:
Mrs. Meyers may have stopped giving the screener before reaching the complex consonant patterns section due to time constraints since she was running late for an appointment, suggesting she was under a time crunch.The correct answer is option A.
Step-by-step explanation:
To address the question of why Mrs. Meyers stopped giving the screener before reaching the section on complex consonant patterns, we can infer from the provided information that time constraints may have been a factor. Specifically, it mentions that she skips four houses on her route because she is running late for an appointment. This suggests that Mrs.
Meyers may have been under a time crunch and therefore could not complete the screener as intended. Additionally, although it is not explicitly stated, students' frustration levels could potentially be a reason to halt an education-related screener, but there is no supporting evidence for this scenario in the passage. We do not have evidence to support inadequate preparation or that Mrs. Meyers forgot.
Therefore, only time constraints can be considered as the correct option here.
