Answer: B. It suggests that ELT programs are growing rapidly, so Andover should add one.

Explanation:

In the article, "Longer school day: Expanded learning time pros and cons" written by Bethany Bray for The Andover Townsman, the townspeople of Andover discuss the reasons for and against Expanded Learning Time (ELT).

During the discussion, a townsmember named Heim, highlighted that the ELT program had grown in 3 years from $500,000 to $13 million to show that the program had rapidly increased it's reach in those 3 years and that it would be beneficial to Andover to climb onboard the train because not only was the Program rising, it also had the support of the Governor, as well as the legislature.
