Students attending schools with mandatory uniform policies experience less pressure than do students who must choose their wardr
obes. 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 for them to reveal their individuality at school. Which fact best supports the author’s position?
On average, school uniforms cost $150 a year, which is much less than the average spent on back-to-school clothes.

On average, school uniforms cost $150 a year, which is much less than the average spent on back-to-school clothes.
Explanation:
As seen in the given passage, the author's main claim is that the introduction and use of uniforms in schools is a much better option for both parents and the students. The uniforms will enable the students to not only dress the same but also give them much more time to focus on their studies.
And in the argument that mandatory school uniforms are the basis of equality in a school, the author states that this move <em>"save(s) money and time"</em>. This argument can be supported by the statement that <em>"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."</em> So, the fact that <u>spending $150 a year for school uniforms is much more economical than the average spending on back-to-school clothes best supports the author's claim/ position. </u>
The correct answer is B. exploring the imagination and emotions of the individual.
C also can be correct, but if you need to choose just one answer, then I'd rather go with B. Romanticism in general is all about emotions, and the imagination that both the authors and the characters portray in their lives. A is all about Modernism, rather than Romanticism. D and E are all about Enlightenment and Classicism, rather than Romanticism.
B) Laughing uproariously, the little girls ran away from the group of boys they'd just attacked with water balloons.
