True. It can be distracting to see the same words/clauses/expressions used over and over and it can pull the reader's attention away from the story.

The answer is C. This is because but is being used as a conjunction separating independent clauses in the other answers. You can remove but from A, B, and D, and you are left with 2 simple sentences.

Should teachers have guns in school? I dont know what kind of answer but please ideas?

Anton [14]

Hey again!

The answer is based on personal opinion. I don't think our teachers should be armed, but there are advantages and disadvantages.

Multiple pros and cons of teacher's being armed.

Two pros:
- To protect their students and themselves during an active shooting
- They wouldn't be defenseless during a shooting
Why shouldn't they? (Cons) - They might use the gun to discipline their students.
- A child could find and use the firearm.
- It's not the teacher's job to be a bodyguard for the students.
- The students may feel unsafe around the teacher.

I hope this helps.
