Ead Leila’s post on her blog, Leila’s Fashion Finds. Last weekend, I bought a pair of wide-legged silver pants at my favorite thrift shop. The problem? I can’t wear them to school because we have uniforms. By forcing us to wear the same thing every day, Robinson Middle School is taking away our individuality and robbing us the opportunity to express ourselves. My English teacher always talks about how writing is a way that we can show others who we are and what we believe—that’s why I started this blog! So, its seems hypocritical that the school is encouraging us to be individuals, but they want us to all look the same!

Which evidence could Leila include to strengthen her claim?

Research shows that uniforms can decrease cliques and bullying in school.
Research shows that uniforms can discourage students from thinking creatively.
Research shows that uniforms can be an affordable option for all students.
Research shows that uniforms can build a sense of community in a school.

Read the excerpt from the war of the worlds, in which the crowd begins to disperse just before the first martian exits the cylinder.when i returned to the common the sun was setting. scattered groups were hurrying from the direction of woking, and one or two persons were returning. the crowd about the pit had increased, and stood out black against the lemon yellow of the sky—a couple of hundred people, perhaps. there were raised voices, and some sort of struggle appeared to be going on about the pit. strange imaginings passed through my mind. as i drew nearer i heard stent's voice: "keep back! keep back! "a boy came running towards me."it's a-movin'," he said to me as he passed; 'a-screwin' and a-screwin' out. i don't like it. i'm a-goin' 'ome, i am."what options accurately depict the impact of the boy's words on pacing within the excerpt? (select all that apply.)the war of the worldsthe setting is in england, so the boy's words provide the reader with the dialect of the area. even though that slows down the plot, the boy's words contain important information.the plot's forward movement is slow at the beginning of the excerpt because there is little action. the boy's words increase the tension and counteract that lag.the narrator is not close enough to see clearly into the pit, so the boy's words provide the narrator with the information he needs, which moves the plot forward.the boy's words serve to speed up the pacing of the plot because, as he is talking to the narrator, he is running past him to get away.the narrator is not close enough to see clearly into the pit, so the boy's words provide the narrator with the information he needs, which moves the plot forward.wrong? the boy's words serve to speed up the pacing of the plot because, as he is talking to the narrator, he is running past him to get away.
