Question

A student has written an editorial about how a local library

should spend a new grant. Read an excerpt.
Which statement provides a new claim that challenges the
original claim?
The local library should use its grant toward starting a
summer reading program instead of buying new books. It
does not matter if the library buys new books if no students
come to the library. Having a summer reading program will
encourage students to visit the library. They can then check
out the many books that the library has already bought. The
reading program can also increase interest in reading by
offering students prizes for reading books during the
summer.
The books at the local library are old and need to be
replaced.
Increasing the number of books in the library will help
students learn.
The grant should be used to buy more books instead of
starting new programs.
Adding new books to the library will make students more
excited about reading.

Answer 2

Adding new books to the library will make students more excited about reading.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding new books to the library will make the students more excited about reading because they would find new material that is suitable for their era, new books can provide examples or comparisons that students can associate with things that are in their life and that are not the same things that a student many decades ago experienced. Also, new novels that talk about things that are happening now or that introduces the newest authors is what makes students read.
