Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

select the opening paragraph that more effectively engages readers and states a thesis.  

1.  As long as there have been dress codes in school there have been students testing the limits of what is appropriate. While testing high-school dress codes s nothing new, some current students are defying rules by challenging gender norms for clothing. In response, some schools are working to accept students who experiment with gender norm s, while other schools struggle with what is acceptable For example, some openly gay students have been sent horne or disciplined for dress that was not deemed appropriate for their gender. Schools that discipline these students for violating dress codes may be found to be suppressing student free speech or political expression

2. Students are always thersing shcool dress codes with inappropriate clothing. Defyin high school dress coddes is not new. But it is new to hear about students experimenting with gender in their clothing choices. SOme schools are accepting of student experimentation with what is normal. Other schools have has mixed responses

Answer:

The first paragraph is the one with an opening paragraph and a Thesis statement.

Explanation:

The opening paragraph is the one that introduces the theme that will be discussed, in addition to determining the tone that the essay will present. As we can see, the first paragraph shows that the school dress code and how students challenge it is the theme that will be addressed throughout the text. This first paragraph also presents the thesis statement, which is the part of the paragraph that reaffirms the position of the author and reinterprets the topic that will be discussed, as can be seen in the lines: "Schools that discipline these students for violating dress codes may be found to be suppressing student free speech or political expression."
