Question 3 • PBCSD_Grade_Forgiveness_1001370_English 3_S2_2015

Which is the best thesis statement for an essay on school uniforms?

Answer
A
Mandatory school uniforms have many positives and negatives that should be considered.
B
Requiring school uniforms has many advantages because students focus on studying rather than their clothing.
C
Students may find school uniforms dull and characterless, leading to an overall bland look.
D
Required school uniforms will be welcomed by some students and rejected by others.

Explanation

A strong thesis makes a clear, specific claim that the essay can support. Choice B argues that requiring uniforms has an advantage—students can focus on studying instead of clothing—and gives a reason for that claim. The other choices are vague, describe only one side without a focused argument, or make a prediction rather than presenting a developed position.
