Make people think the opposite thing

School uniforms are far cheaper than the currently popular fashions. Many students work long hours at a paying job instead of doing homework because they feel they have to "keep up appearances." If students wore uniforms, there would be no need for most of them to have jobs that take away from their study time. This passage is mostly about?

school uniforms being a good idea.

popular fashions being expensive

students working many hours at jobs.

teens enjoying wearing uniforms.

It's no surprise that exercise increases energy. The physical challenge prepares your body in a variety of ways. Blood sugar is more quickly converted to fuel, more oxygen is supplied to your cells, and fight-or-flight hormones are released. Instead of leaving you exhausted, exercise energizes. Do it in the morning for an all-day high or later in the afternoon for a pick-me-up. This passage is mostly about?

Exercise increases your energy.

Exercise is easier than it looks.

Everyone should exercise daily.

Exercise makes you live longer.

Most people want to think that they are in control of their pets. However, a study by Karen McComb at the University of Sussex found that cat owners are controlled by their cats. Cat owners probably won’t have too much trouble believing this. Cats make a fairly loud noise by mixing a purr with a cry. The sound seems to be less annoying to humans than straight meowing. Using this sound, cats tell humans when they want to eat and when they want the door opened. The purr part of the sound keeps humans from becoming too annoyed, so the cat gets exactly what he or she wants. Which sentence from the paragraph supports the idea that cats have a smart way of getting what they want?

"The purr part of the sound keeps humans from becoming too annoyed."

"Most people want to think that they are in control of their pets."

"Cat owners probably won't have too much trouble believing this."

"Cats make a fairly loud noise by mixing a purr with a cry."

You think that 6th graders should be able to play basketball for the school, but the intramural directors disagree. The directors believe that 6th graders are too young to deal with the stress of the game and keep up with their grades. What would be a good rebuttal for this scenario?

Although 6th graders are younger than 7th or 8th graders, some of us are just as responsible as other kids.

It is true that most 6th graders are less mature than 8th graders.
