Could you tell me if these sentences make sense ? They should be okay when rewriting the following:
At this school, students have to wear a tie whether they like it or not. ( Use given )
Students at this school ....of whether or not to wear a tie
My attempts:
Students at this school are not given the possibility of whether or not to wear a tie
Students at this school are not given a chance of whether or not to wear a tie
Are both options correct? Can prepositions Of follows chance?? Is there any other way to rephrase it ?
Thank you

'Possibility' and 'chance' are not correct here. You need 'choice' or 'option'.
... are not given the choice/option to wear a tie or not.
... are not given the choice/option of wearing a tie or not.
But stating both is unnecessary, and makes the sentence less clear.
It is simpler to say:
... are not given the choice/option to not wear a tie.
... are not given the choice/option of not wearing a tie.

Hi! 😊
Your first sentence is understandable, but it sounds a bit unnatural:
Students at this school are not given the possibility of whether or not to wear a tie.
Your second sentence is not correct because we don’t say “a chance of whether or not.”
It’s more natural to say:
Students at this school are not given a choice about wearing a tie.
Students at this school are not given a chance to choose whether or not to wear a tie.
After “given,” it usually sounds better to use “a chance to + verb” rather than “of whether or not.”
