Question

read the passage.
school uniforms can help students from feeling like they cannot keep up. some students come to school in jeans that cost $200. yet, twenty - five percent of the students at our school qualify for free lunches. right now, students are divided into two groups: those who can afford designer brands and those who cannot. this is unfair. students should wear uniforms to create an equal environment.
lea wants to revise the final sentence by adding a transition at the beginning. which are the best choices? check all that apply.
□ as a result,
□ however,
□ for example,
□ similarly,
□ therefore,

Explanation:

The passage builds an argument that school clothing divides students by affordability, which is unfair, then concludes with a call for uniforms to create equality. We need transitions that signal a conclusion or result from the prior points:

1. "As a result," shows the final sentence is an outcome of the unfair division.
2. "Therefore," directly links the preceding evidence of inequality to the proposed solution of uniforms.

"However" signals contrast, which does not fit here. "For example" introduces evidence, not a conclusion. "Similarly" shows a parallel idea, which is not the case here.

Answer:

A. As a result,
E. Therefore,
