Read the scenario. A group of high school students is working on an essay about airplanes. During their discussion, Emily says, "We need to include precise details about the Wright brothers' contribution to aviation history." Which response from a group member best builds on Emily's idea?
Answer
A
"Including precise details is a great idea. I will get started on the research."
B
"While I like that idea, I worry that we will leave out other early aviation pioneers if we focus too closely on the Wright brothers."
C
"We could emphasize the Wright brothers, or we could focus on current technology."
D
"I agree with that idea, and we can also talk about how the Wright brothers' early experiments helped to create the first practical airplane."
Explanation
The best response builds on Emily’s idea by agreeing and adding a specific direction for the essay: explaining how the Wright brothers’ early experiments led to the first practical airplane. Choice D, “I agree with that idea, and we can also talk about how the Wright brothers' early experiments helped to create the first practical airplane,” develops her suggestion rather than merely repeating it or shifting the focus.
