Students who wear school uniforms spend less money on clothing.
Students who dislike school uniforms at first usually get used to them after six months of wearing them.
School uniforms help students get ready faster in the morning because they do not have to choose an outfit.
Schools that have a uniform policy report lower rates of fighting and higher participation in after-school activities.
Answer:
Schools that have a uniform policy report lower rates of fighting and higher participation in after-school activities.
Explanation:
Firstly, none of the others show pride. Secondly, fighting less indicates that a student is taking pride in themselves such as their health, their school relationships and their reputation at school. Higher participation in activities, especially since they are outside mandatory school time, indicates that a student is taking pride in their future career (activities can help a personal statement), their involvement in school (especially if this is an activity representing the school) and you could argue that the more time a student spends at school I.e the more effort they put in, indicates a higher amount of school pride.

B.)solving a problem with transatlantic telephone service.
C.)discovering the location of the first known black hole.
D.)inventing a telescope that could detect radio signals.
Answer:
Building the first radio telescope
Explanation:
American astronomer and radio engineer who built the first radio telescope and was largely responsible for the early development of radio astronomy.
In the 1930s, Grote Reber became known for inventing a telescope that could detect radio signals. The correct option is D.
What can telescopes be used for?A telescope is a tool used by astronomers to see distant objects. Most telescopes, and so all large telescopes, gather and focus light from the night sky using curved mirrors. The first observatories focused light by using lenses, which were curved pieces of clear glass.
Reber spent long hours each night with his telescope scanning the skies, and in 1938, he detected radio emission from the Milky Way, confirming Jansky's prior discovery. Later, he presented his findings, which amounted to a survey of radio radiation from the sky.
Grote Reber, a radio astronomy pioneer who built an antenna dish in his backyard in Illinois in the 1930s and dialed it to radio signals from space, died on December 20 in Tasmania, Australia's southernmost island state.
Thus, the ideal selection is option D.

What did Mary and her friends discuss at dinner while staying at Lord Byron’s house in Switzerland?
Answer:
They all discussed to try their hands on supernatural stories.
Explanation:
Mary Shelly, Persy Bysshe Shelley, Mary's step sister Claire Clairmont, Lord Byron, and Dr. John Polidori were friends. In the summer of 1816, they decided to spend their time in Switzerland. They all stayed in Villa Diodati, the house of Lord Byron in Switzerland.
On one night, they all gathered together and were reading the German ghost stories 'Fantasmagoriana.' They all came up with an idea of trying their hands on supernatural stories.
It is during this time, Mary's most celebrated novel 'Frankenstein' was born. In the preface of Frankenstein, we come to know about the friendships between these prominent writers as well as the plan of writing the ghost stories.
So, they all discussed to write ghost stories at dinner at Byron's house in Switzerland.
In 2012, seat belts saved an estimated 12,174 people from dying. From 2008–2012, seat belts saved nearly 63,000 lives. In 2012, 3,031 additional lives could have been saved if all unrestrained passenger vehicle occupants 5 and older involved in fatal crashes had worn their seat belts. Cops aren't just cracking down for the fun of it. Wearing a seat belt is a serious issue. For the first time in five years, fatalities for unrestrained passenger vehicle occupants have gone up. In 2012, there were 10,335 unbuckled passenger vehicle occupants who died. Because of these fatalities, cops are stepping up enforcement and cracking down on those who don't wear their seat belts. –"Click It or Ticket: Fact Sheet," US Department of Transportation Which emotional responses is this part of the fact sheet likely trying to evoke? Check all that apply. the desire to be one of the people saved by a seat belt if in a car crash commitment to wearing a seat belt acceptance that some people will not wear their seat belts anger over cars being unsafe a sense of approval that the police are making sure people wear their seat belts
Answer:
✓ the desire to be one of the people saved by a seat belt if in a car crash
The words don't specifically imply a desire to be saved by a seat belt, though it's a fair assumption that by listening to this the reader might want to be one of the people saved by a seat belt.✓ commitment to wearing a seat belt
This part tells us many facts that enforce the impression of why you should wear a seat belt. It may be trying to increase people's commitment to wearing them.✘ acceptance that some people will not wear their seat belts
This sheet is aimed at telling people why they should wear their seat belts. The writers would not be pleased if you came out of it accepting que será, será.✘ anger over cars being unsafe
The writers could be trying to evoke anger or maybe righteous indignation at the people who are not wearing seat belts, but not anger over "cars being unsafe." It's not the cars themselves that are unsafe, it's the lack of seatbelts.✓ a sense of approval that the police are making sure people wear their seat belts
The sheet says that " Because of these fatalities" cops are enforcing these rules. It seems to approve of this; it doesn't cite any reasons cops shouldn't enforce the laws.Answer:

put the letters in the correct order

5. yavlerb
Answer:
1. edvid = dived
2. gustgreld = struggled
3. gregadd = dragged
4. paiserd = praised
5. yavlerb = bravely
Explanation:
A tip to make things easier when putting letters in the correct order is to pay attention to the vowels. They are the ones that determined the number of syllable. Look at them first, see the possibilities, then work with the consonants. Also, try to find patterns. After figuring out the first word, "dived", it was easier to form the others since I was looking for verbs in the past.
Here, we formed 4 verbs in their past forms, all regular, and one adverb:
1, dived - past form of dive
2. struggled - past form of struggle
3. dragged - past form of drag
4. praised - past form of praise
5. bravely - adverb formed from the adjective "brave"

Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.
What is the author’s purpose for including this sentence?

C. to explain the need for mutual understanding
D. to criticize people who treat others cruelly
Answer:
The author's purpose for including this sentence is:
A. to condemn the insincerity of his critics’ advice .
Explanation:
Dr. King mentions the "shallow understanding from people of good will" because of his critics. Unfortunately, even well-intentioned people will offer bad advice or undeserved criticism when their understanding of the subject is not deep. That, according to Dr. King, is "even more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will." Those who have good will could be of help, could make a difference. When, however, they do not make an effort to fully know the subject and to choose between right and wrong, they end up harming others.
Answer:
A. to condemn the insincerity of his critics’ advice
