Read the paragraph.students attending schools with mandatory uniform policies experience less pressure than do students who must choose their wardrobes. 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.parents have the right to exempt their children from wearing school uniforms, but they must meet with an administrator to discuss the issue.in 1994, a school district in california implemented a school uniform policy in grades k-8, which affected more than 60,000 students.to assist schools in establishing a uniform policy, the us department of education has created an online manual.

Read the passage by sue hubbell below. the reason i am hiring david this year is that a young man i have used in the past has moved away. we worked well together and he liked bees though even he was stung royally at first. i admired his courage the first day we were out together, for he stood holding a super from which i was blowing bees while his arm was fast turning into a pin cushion from stings. when we carried the stacked supers to the honey house's loading dock, he would scorn the hot bee veil as he wheeled the supers on the handtruck despite the cross bees flying around the dock. one time, as i opened the door for him to bring in the load, i noticed that his face was contorted in what i took to be the effort of getting the handtruck down the ramp. we quickly wheeled the load of supers up to the scale, where we weigh each load. he was going too fast, so that when he stopped at the scale he fell backward and 350 pounds of supers dropped on him. pinned down, he loyally balanced himself on one fist so that he didn't harm the honey pump against which he had fallen. the reason for his knotted face and his speed was obvious for the first time: he was being stung on the forehead by three bees. good boss that i am, i did not choose that moment to go to the cabin and make myself a cup of coffee; i picked the supers off his chest, scraped off the stingers and him to his feet. it became one of our shared legends of working together. this year i miss him. work cited: hubbell, sue. “the beekeeper.” the new york times. 2 aug. 1984. web. which description best fits the author's point of view? a boss who is making fun of her employee a nostalgic coworker a boss who is angry with her employee an indifferent coworker
