Notice to Parents of Sunnydale High School Stndents

We wonld tike to inform you or the latest changes to Sunnydale High Schoole
mobile phone pohicy for students

As yo are Hikely ware。 in reeent monthey there has been a dramatic increese in
he number of incidents involving mobTe phone use on school grounds during the
ocial school hourm between 9 am and 3 pm.

The number of students found texting cr playing games during class has increased
by 35% this semester。Additiopally, teachers are reporting a shocking 20% jnmp in
he number of students caught cheating by using their phones during exams and

quizzes。

1n my opinion。 the most extreme olenee is that a number of students have
ecretly taken videos of their teachers or other stndents in the Glassroom。
The public access to these videos then opens up their subjects to hurtful comrments
and bullying, which can obyiously canse serious emotional harm to students.

Therefore。 we are imposing the following rule changes in the hopes that we can
mprove the sitnation:

1) Stndents are allowed to bring their mobile phones to school but they mst be
kept in their lockers in the outside corridor doring class. They may use their
hones dring offdal break periods, in the case cf an emergency。or they need
1o contact their parentsy in which case they need to get special permission fom a
teacher.

2 Fa gudent is found using their phone in he Gasaroom。 the phone wil be went

Answer 1

4段落目にIn my opinion, "the most extreme offense is… "という記述があるのでここが答えだと思いました！問題は校長が最も深刻だと考えてる問題は何かを聞かれているので、the most という表現も入っているこの文章決め手かな、と！
だから答えは4番かな？4段落目までしか読んでないので違ったらごめんなさい！

4であってるんですが、これって、試験をスマホでカンニングするのが、最重要問題とはちがうのでしょうか？

たしかにそういうことも書かれてますけど『最重要問題』では無いのでバツです。
そのカンニングがどうこうの文章ってAdditionallyで始まってると思うんですけど、Additionallyって『加えて』という意味なのでここが本文中でいちばん重要な部分とは言えないかなって思います。
あとはやはり“the most”という部分が決め手になると思います。
『加えて』から始まる文と『最も極端な(深刻な)違反は〜』で始まる分なら後者の方が圧倒的に重要性があるように感じられますね。

なるほど！ありがとです！
