The local school district is holding hearings to determine which extra-curricular activity, music or physical education, will be deleted as a cost-saving measure. Students in your class have been chosen to present testimony to the Board. Using historical foundations and current information, they will write the argument to be presented. They may choose to defend a curriculum, or present reasons

The second half of the answer is conjectural on the part of the student and allows for his/her creative imagination to conceptualize an answer, which should be presented in a logical, grammatically correct way.
