Very few students take advantage of Shelbyville's school breakfast program, although it is available to all students. There is substantial research to show that students who do not eat breakfast learn less well than students who do. Therefore, in order to enhance the quality of learning that goes on in Shelbyville's school, the school administrators should take steps to greatly increase the percentage of students who participate in the breakfast program.

Knowing which of the following would be most helpful in assessing the letter writer's argument?

A. The percentage of Shelbyville students who think that breakfast is the most important meal of the day

B. The percentage of Shelbyville students who eat breakfast at home on school days

C. The percentage of Shelbyville students who are aware of the school breakfast program

D. The percentage of school-age children in Shelbyville who do not attend school regularly

E. The percentage of students who participate in breakfast programs in towns other than Shelbyville
