Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. For "Reading some historical documents requires cursive literacy": The text does not mention anything about reading historical documents and cursive literacy, so this detail is not included.
  2. For "Removing cursive from the curriculum frees teachers to address other areas": The text says "This has enabled teachers to shift valuable instructional time to more relevant areas, such as computer skills" (where "this" refers to stopping teaching cursive), so this detail is included.
  3. For "New standards in the early 2000s determined cursive is unnecessary for college or work": The text states that in the early 2000s, research showed high - school graduates lacked skills for college and work, Common Core was developed, and cursive was among the skills not necessary, so this detail is included.
  4. For "Many school instructional plans no longer include cursive": The text says "several states have stopped teaching it" (where "it" is cursive), which implies many school instructional plans no longer include cursive, so this detail is included.
