Can someone answer my question so I don't have to waste all my points on re-asking it several times...

Students attending schools with mandatory uniform policies experience less pressure than do students who must choose their wardrobes. This is because school uniforms allow students and their parents to save money and time. The financial investment in uniforms at the beginning of the school year is far more economical than the purchase of an entire wardrobe of designer clothes and trendy styles. Students who do not have to deliberate what to wear each morning are able to invest their time in more productive ways, such as studying for tests or finishing homework. Uniforms may stifle students’ self-expression, but there are many other ways to reveal one’s individuality at school.

Which revision would best strengthen the author’s main argument?
A. the omission of the author’s point of view
B. the addition of more general statements and ideas
C. the correction of spelling and punctuation errors
D. the inclusion of reputable sources and specific facts

Answer:

D. The inclusion of reputable sources and specific facts

Step-by-step explanation:

Before reading the passage, read all the available answers. As you read, look for evidence that would support each of these answers. Clearly this paragraph is giving the best reasons to go to a school uniform policy rather than to not have one at all. So, list all of the reason why the policy would be better since this is the author's perspective. Then read through the answers again, eliminating the ones that could not possibly be the answer. There is nothing mentioned in the paragraph that would support A. The same can be said for B. Since there is little evidence to support C, D would be the best answer.
