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 appeal that would most likely move this audience to support your cause is: 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.

Out of all the options, the most logical appeal is letter C because it is supported by objective and scientific facts. Having an overtired student population affects academic performance. Also, it makes it harder for teachers to give lessons and for students to pay attention. Therefore, if the starting time was delayed, students would be less tired and both the students and teachers performance would most likely increase.

Option A: Teenagers should learn to be responsible and not all things in life are easy. School is a training for life, therefore, challenges like waking up early are good to create healthy habits and responsibility.

Option B: The decision that is taken affects more people than just one individual and therefore a completely subjective view won't be a good appeal to convince the local school board.

Option D: The school doesn't need to adjust the starting time so students will be on time. It is a matter or responsibility and probably students would still arrive late to school even if the starting time was delayed.
