Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Argument I is weak: it assumes a uniform is necessary for decency; dress codes suffice. Argument II is strong: it foregrounds adult autonomy while allowing reasonable norms.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Most colleges operate with codes, not uniforms, except specialized institutes.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Either/Both” over-credit I; “Neither” ignores II’s relevance.
