On two occasions several days apart, when she asked the student for an explanation, he said, \u201cI fell down.\u201d Ms. Benzi does not believe that the boy\u2019s pattern of injuries is consistent with a fall.

Since the teacher suspects the bruising might be the result of abuse, (D) is the correct response. Parents are not to be alerted before a call to Child Protective Services (A), because it is the agency\u2019s job to determine whether abuse has occurred and, if so, who is responsible. The mandated reporter\u2019s legal responsibility supersedes the decision of any school official (B).

Therefore, the correct choice is (D) because it describes holistic grading, which focuses on the effect of an entire work. With analytical scoring, the student\u2019s strengths and weaknesses are assessed for each targeted skill (A), making it less likely that only one skill becomes the focus of an assessment (B). Grade reliability is increased (C) because a variety of criteria are considered.<\/p>\n            <\/div>        <\/div>    <\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><br \/>\n\t<div   class='av_promobox  avia-button-yes   avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_toggle_container  el_before_av_one_fourth '>\t\t<div class='avia-promocontent'><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Looking for\u00a0more prep?
