Question 2

The average on Mr. Brighton's fifth-period class' last exam was 68.2 percent. When discussing the results with his fellow teacher, Mr. Paxton, Mr. Brighton said, I need to examine how I might change my style and manner of teaching to help my students more effectively.

b. Mr. Paxton is likely to have less successful relationships with the students than Mr. Brighton does.
