Refer to your Expeditions in Reading book for a complete version of this text. Which statement is a moral of “Why the Larks Flew Away”? a. Often, the best choice is the first choice. b. Mothers teach their children important lessons. c. People and animals have a lot in common. d. It takes bravery to help those in need.

I think the correct answer is: A) A photograph of students participating in an after-school program,

In this way they can probably make an appeal to phatos or to the audience's emotions. A photography of students participating showing them happy and interested in the subject can invoque sympathy, highlighting  the positive aspects of the after-school programs.

A video of a teacher discussing the benefits would be repetitive and therefore boring as the blog already explains them. The chart showing the number of local after-school programs is not helpful as it doesn't give any explanation, it would be helpful if it was compared with another variable, for example the number of local after-school programs five years ago. In this way if a reduction in the number is seen we can relate it to the budget cuts. A graph showing the rising costs of after-school programs has the same problem, it needs to be related to another variable.
