Read leila's post on her blog, leila's fashion finds. last weekend, i bought a pair of wide-legged silver pants at my favorite thrift shop. the problem? i can't wear them to school because we have uniforms. by forcing us to wear the same thing every day, robinson middle school is taking away our individuality and robbing us the opportunity to express ourselves. my english teacher always talks about how writing is a way that we can show others who we are and what we believe—that's why i started this blog! so, its seems hypocritical that the school is encouraging us to be individuals, but they want us to all look the same! which evidence could leila include to strengthen her claim? research shows that uniforms can decrease cliques and bullying in school. research shows that uniforms can discourage students from thinking creatively. research shows that uniforms can be an affordable option for all students. research shows that uniforms can build a sense of community in a school.

The answer is: Research shows that uniforms can discourage students from thinking creatively.

The other three options would actually weaken and contradict Leila's point of view, since they show the upside of having students wear uniforms.

Leia, however, is defending the position that uniforms hinder the expression of individuality by students. She even calls the school's attitude of encouraging individuality hypocritical, since uniforms don't allow for that. If she included the evidence that research shows uniforms can discourage students from thinking creatively, she would have a strong support for her argument.

a complex sentence consists of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.  

to write complex sentences, we must use subordinating conjunctions.  

all the complex sentences begin with a subordinating conjunction and when it occurs, a comma must be place at the end of the dependent clause. on the contrary, if the sentence begins with an independent clause, then no comma is used.
