How does paragraph 6 support the author's claim about music developing our brains?

(p.6)a special community music program in a low-income area of los angeles showed a higher success rate of students going on to college than students in the area who did not participate in this music education. a team of researchers was asked to offer scientific evidence for this compelling distinction. the study concluded that there were significant improvements in reading scores for the children who attended music classes regularly and were actively engaged for a period of two years, compared to those who did not participate.

a it demonstrates that children from low-income areas benefit even more from music education than their wealthier peers.

b it defines the scientific terms used in the research studies that focused on the achievements of young people in the inner city.

c it proves that the more money that is spent on music education programs, the less money that is needed for remedial writing and reading programs.

d it provides convincing data about the academic performance of children who attend music classes.

The correct answer would be D. It provides convincing data about the academic performance of children who attend music classes.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
