Imagine you want to convince the local school board that changing the high school start time from 7:10 a. M. To 8:30 a. M. Would benefit all students. Which appeal would most likely move this audience to support your cause? A. You probably don't remember how hard it is for young people to get up early, but I am a teenager, and I'm telling you, it's practically impossible. B. It frustrates my parents when I sleep through my alarm and have to ask them to drive me to school — but this situation would not occur with a later start time. C. Studies show that teenagers' bodies have a biological drive to stay awake fairly late at night, so early start times lead to a constantly overtired student population. D. I consulted the records in the office, and they show that 75 percent of the students at our school arrived late to at least one class in the last semester

The correct option is C: "Studies show that teenagers' bodies have a biological drive to stay awake fairly late at night, so early start times lead to a constantly overtired student population."


This appeal is likely to be the most persuasive because it is backed up by scientific research which gives it credibility, and it highlights the negative impact of early start times on the health and well-being of students.
