Question 19 • GA-Literature and Composition III A

Read the paragraph.Our school is considering mandating school uniforms next year. The student government supports school uniforms for a number of reasons. First, school uniforms save time. Students will not have to figure out what they will wear and thus will have more time to devote to their studies. They will be more focused on learning and less on appearance. Second, although there are up-front costs, uniforms will ultimately save families money. Finally, uniforms will promote a sense of equality because students are dressed the same regardless of economic status. This will encourage a greater sense of community at our school.What strategy does the author use in her choice of language to convey her message?

Answer
A
observational descriptions
B
sequence of events
C
logic and reason
D
real and imagined events

Explanation

The author supports uniforms with reasons and explains how they could help: they save students time, eventually save families money, and promote equality and community. These cause-and-effect arguments use logic and reason. The paragraph does not mainly describe observations or tell a sequence of events.
