Question

Schools uniforms are not ugly but infringe upon a students personal style. Requiring students to wear the same outfit as everyone else is ridiculous! Some people say that school uniforms would put the focus back on education and not on the latest fashions, but this is crazy. Yes, students go to school to get an education but they also got to learn more abut themselves. Forcing them to wear a school uniform would seriously hurt their ability to find their personal style and become more confident with who they are.
Which phrase best describes the tone of this example?
a. Sad and a little regretful
b. Slightly hostile but basically civil
c. Agreeable and Understanding
d. Friendly and open-minded

Answer 1

Answer:

B: Slightly hostile but basically civil.

Explanation:

 The phrase in otion B describes the tone of the example because the writer uses some words that can be considered slightly hostile to express his or her opinion: 'ridiculous', 'crazy', and 'forcing'. Nevertheless, the idea of someone defending the liberty or personal preference, and understanding the need for more confidence one should have with oneself is a valid argument, as well as   basically civil.

Answer 2

Slightly hostile but basically civil because they are explaining in a uniformed manner no pun intended
