    Read the following passages/poem carefully and use correct options to answer the questions that follow.
    It is true that schools focus their attention on studying. School uniforms serve a number of important functions in schools. However, given the fact that they are an additional cost to students' families, care should be taken that the purchase and upkeep of uniforms is not an undue burden to less fortunate students. Some say that uniforms make the school boring due to lack of variety. However, this is not a good argument. When there is too much variety, it can lead to distraction. Not only will students be spending too much time decking themselves out for school every day but they will also be distracted by what their friends wear. This will take their attention away from what is important, that is, their studies. Having school uniforms would be beneficial to students' performance in school, as it would enable them to better their innate skills.
