Texas 7th Grade ELA Question of the Day
Test your knowledge with a hand-picked multiple-choice question.
Our school should replace most of its grass with native, drought-tolerant plants. Regular lawns need constant watering, especially in late summer, and sprinklers run even when hardly anyone is on campus. That wastes water we could save for more important needs. Native plants still look nice, and they fit our climate better than a carpet of turf. I have seen yards with wildflowers and shrubs that seem healthier than our brittle field out front. If we switched, we would also see more butterflies and birds, which would make campus feel alive. Some people might worry the change would be too big, but I think it would be fine. We should update the landscaping so it uses less water and less effort.
Which revision best strengthens the argument by adding credible evidence, clear reasoning, or acknowledgment of counterclaims?
