Question

use the passage to answer the question.
it has been shown that schools with uniform policies for students have lower levels of crime. this includes fewer fights, less property damage, and a near lack of weapons violations. they have also been known to reduce bullying and peer pressure. for this reason, i believe that our local school system should adopt a uniform policy for all students.
a student includes this argument in a presentation. which rhetorical question will enhance the message?
(1 point)
would you want somebody making fun of the clothes you wear to school?
exactly why do students go to school—to learn or to express themselves?
can’t we all agree that bullying and property damage at school are bad things?
don’t you think that students deserve to be safe when they are at school?

Explanation:

The passage argues for school uniforms by linking them to reduced crime, bullying, and unsafe conditions. The best rhetorical question reinforces the core value of student safety tied to the argument. Option D directly connects to the passage's focus on safety, which is a key outcome of the proposed uniform policy. Other options either focus on unrelated points (clothing mockery, school purpose) or general negatives, not the specific safety priority of the argument.

Answer:

D. Don't you think that students deserve to be safe when they are at school?
