Many of the poorest performing schools in the country are also located in some of the most economically disadvantaged areas. It's pretty safe to say that poor performance in school is caused by poverty. Government funding for education should be distributed
in such a way that poorer school districts get more money than the districts where parents earn higher incomes.

How is this passage an example of faulty cause and effect reasoning?
A. It implies that students at poor schools are not as intelligent as other students.

B. It assumes that poverty alone is the cause of poor school performance.

C. It reasons that schools in impoverished areas should receive more funding.

D. It suggests that children whose parents make more money should suffer.

B. It assumes that poverty alone is the cause of poor school performance.

Explanation:

The passage states that poor performance in schools is cased by poverty. This is faulty because it is solely ascribing poor performance to poverty when in fact there could be other factors that are contributing to the poor performance.

The passage therefore oversimplifies the problem and draws a conclusion from a faulty cause assumption as a result. If the writer did not want to do the appropriate research, they could have used simpler wording such as ''poverty contributes to poor school performance'' which would imply that other factors are involved.

i have read the novel roll of thunder hear my cry by mildred d. taylor.

1. this isn't like any other story i've read or watched because it is about a black family in mississippi right after slavery in the u.s. had become illegal. most of the novels i have read were about slavery. another point is that the author of the novel used symbolism in a way i haven't seen before. for example she uses thunder as something negative meaning something bad will happen. but by the end of the novel, she made thunder a good thing.

2.   one character that changed during the novel was stacey. stacey is the eldest child of the black logan family. around the begging of the novel stacey was avoiding the white boy jeremy simms. he had a dislike for jeremy's family. but at the end of the novel stacey began to like jeremy.

3. the author starts the novel with the problem that the children of the logan family have to avoid the white kid school bus while walking to school.
