Question

read the excerpt from dwaynes letter to his principal about the schools uniform policy.
i believe that high school students have the ability to follow a dress code; therefore, making us wear uniforms is ridiculous.
which is the best revision of the underlined portion of the sentence?
forcing us to dress a certain way is unfair.
having us wear uniforms makes no sense.
requiring us to wear uniforms is unnecessary.
no change

Explanation:

The original underlined phrase "making us wear uniforms is ridiculous" is informal for a letter to a principal. We need a polite, formal alternative that matches the logic: since students can follow a dress code, uniforms are not needed.

• "forcing us to dress a certain way is unfair" shifts the argument to fairness, not necessity.
• "having us wear uniforms makes no sense" is still informal.
• "requiring us to wear uniforms is unnecessary" is formal, polite, and directly aligns with the claim that students can follow a dress code (so uniforms aren't needed).
• "no change" is inappropriate due to the informal tone.

Answer:

requiring us to wear uniforms is unnecessary.
