Answer
A

My friend’s school uniforms are expensive, and yet they’re ugly and uncomfortable.
C
I agree with the statement, and I think it’s a really smart idea for our school.
D
School uniforms should not be required because they reduce individual expression.

Explanation

An effective claim clearly states a position and gives a reason that can be supported with evidence. Choice A argues that uniforms should not be required and explains why: they reduce individual expression. Choice B only says the writer disagrees, while C and D give opinions without making a focused, well-supported argument.
