Answer

Brief Explanations:

A representative sample should accurately reflect the population of interest. Here, the population is seventh - graders. Sampling only from Ms. Alvarez's fifth - period class or advisory group is too limited as it doesn't represent all seventh - graders. Sampling from the entire school district includes non - seventh - graders. Sampling every fifth student from an alphabetical list of all seventh - graders in the school targets the correct population and is a form of systematic random sampling which can be representative.

Answer:

Every fifth student from an alphabetical list of all seventh graders in the school
