While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- The school library is open from 8 am to 4 pm.
- About 70% of all borrowing happens between 3 pm and 4 pm.
- Only about 5% of borrowing happens between 8 am and 10 am.
- In a survey, 65% of students asked for the library to stay open into the evening.
- Staying open until 6 pm would cost about $9,000 a year.
The student wants to make a recommendation and support it with information from the notes. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
- A. The school should keep the library open until 6 pm: most borrowing already crowds into the last hour before closing, 65% of students asked for evening hours, and the cost would be about $9,000 a year.Correct
- B. About 70% of borrowing happens between 3 pm and 4 pm.
- C. The school should open the library earlier, at 7 am, to meet demand.
- D. The school should stop lending books after 3 pm to reduce crowding.
