Question 2
Item 1: Read the two sources. On which fact do the two sources disagree?
Source 1: Requiring school districts to recycle will reduce the emissions of greenhouses gases that damage the environment. School districts have many people in them and dispose of large amounts of waste. Their participation is necessary if recycling is going to have an impact on the environment.
Source 2: Outside recycling programs can be expensive for schools that need to use their district's money for educational programs and resources. While recycling is important for protecting our planet, getting all students to follow a specific program is not easy and can cause programs to be ineffective.

Both sources discuss recycling programs in schools, but they present different perspectives. Source 1 argues that requiring school districts to recycle will reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases, emphasizing the importance of school districts' participation in recycling programs for environmental impact. On the other hand, Source 2 highlights the potential challenges of implementing recycling programs in schools, such as the costs and difficulties in getting all students to follow a specific program.
Based on this information, the disagreement between the two sources can be identified as follows:
Source 1 emphasizes the need for school districts' participation in recycling programs to have an impact on the environment, while Source 2 raises concerns about the challenges and potential ineffectiveness of such programs.
Therefore, the fact on which the two sources disagree is that Source 1 argues for the importance of school district participation in recycling programs for environmental impact, while Source 2 highlights the challenges and potential ineffectiveness of such programs.
