Question

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?
observational descriptions
sequence of events
logic and reason
real and imagined events

Answer 1

logic and reason

The author lists a series of reasons (time savings, cost savings, increased equality/community) to support the conclusion that uniforms should be mandated, using logical argumentation rather than narrative or descriptive techniques.
