Question 8 • English Language Arts 12

Read the resolution. All students should be required to wear uniforms to school. Which is the best example of an effective claim?

Answer
A
My friend’s school uniforms are expensive, and yet they’re ugly and uncomfortable.
B
I agree with the statement, and I think it’s a really smart idea for our school.
C
School uniforms should not be required because they reduce individual expression.
D
I disagree that all students should be required to wear uniforms to school.

Explanation

An effective claim takes a clear position on the resolution and gives a reason that can be supported with evidence. Choice C argues against required uniforms and explains why: they reduce individual expression. Choice D also disagrees, but it only repeats a position without giving a reason.
