Reading and writing practice test, Grades 6–7 — question 25 of 47

Read the paragraph. Then answer the question.

From the Student Council

Last year, students at our school threw away more than 200 plastic water bottles every day at lunch. This spring, the student council installed two water-bottle filling stations in the cafeteria. Each station has a small counter on the front. After the first month, the two counters showed that students had filled more than 4,000 bottles. Next month, we plan to ask the principal for a third station near the gym.

Choose the best answer.

What is the most likely reason the student council wants a third filling station?
