read the following paragraph.
students attending schools with mandatory uniform policies experience less pressure than do students who must choose their wardrobes. this is because school uniforms allow students and their parents to save money and time. the financial investment in uniforms at the beginning of the school year is far more economical than the purchase of an entire wardrobe of designer clothes and trendy styles. students who do not have to deliberate what to wear each morning are able to invest their time in more productive ways, such as studying for tests or finishing homework. uniforms may stifle students’ self-expression, but there are many other ways to reveal one’s individuality at school.
which of the following statements best supports the author’s claim?
school uniforms, which are less baggy than many modern styles, make it more difficult for students to hide contraband items.
school uniforms make it easier for faculty and staff members to identify students as members of the student body.
students are more focused on classroom instruction and less interested in what their peers are wearing.
parents are supportive of public schools adopting school uniforms for several reasons; the most common being affordability.

"Students are more focused on classroom instruction and less interested in what their peers are wearing."

Explanation: This is the answer because, in my opinion, sounds the most like what the author would argue with. Clue from the paragraph are how the author said "trendy styles" and "invest their time in more productive ways, such as studying for tests or finishing homework". Clearly, the author cares about students only focusing on their education.

The correct answer is option D) "Parents are supportive of public schools adopting school uniforms for several reasons; the most common being affordability."

Explanation:

There is evidence on the text that supports that wearing school uniforms saves money and time. In the text, reference is made to " school uniforms allow students and their parents to save money and time" meaning that parents just invest money on school uniform once a year whereas not wearing school uniform is more expensive (parents have to buy clothing during the whole year). Evidence from text: "The financial investment in uniforms at the beginning of the school year is far more economical than the purchase of an entire wardrobe of designer clothes and trendy styles".

Also students wearing uniforms save time as they don´t have to think what to wear every day and they can use that time for more productive activities.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

a complex sentence consists of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.  

to write complex sentences, we must use subordinating conjunctions.  

all the complex sentences begin with a subordinating conjunction and when it occurs, a comma must be place at the end of the dependent clause. on the contrary, if the sentence begins with an independent clause, then no comma is used.
