5. The tradition of giving teachers an apple goes back to 19th century Denmark, where teachers didn't earn enough for food. So, parents would send their children to school
with an extra snack for the teacher. Would current stdents' grades increase if they
brought in treats for their teachers?

Make a hypothesis help plz

The apple, that innocent bud of an Americana autumn, has pulled off one of the greatest cons of all time. As students across the country prepare to greet a new school year and teacher with a polished bit of produce, the apple cements its place in the patriotic foods pantheon despite its dodgy past.

i'm assuming that the correct answer is indeed the first one/ "a"..
