Comparing Argumentative Texts: Silent Spring and "A Case for Waawaatesi"
Question 3 of 10 • TX-English I B-Credit Recovery Summer School
Which excerpt from Click It or Ticket Mobilization Media Campaign best achieves the purpose of informing people that seat belt laws are enforced nationwide?
Answer
A
Those who drive and ride in pickup trucks may think that their large vehicle will protect them more than other vehicles in a crash. This false sense of security may cause them to not wear their seat belts, but the stats show that this bravado is misplaced.
B
In 2012, 13,268 traffic fatalities occurred in rural locations, compared to 8,341 traffic fatalities that occurred in urban locations.
C
People who live in rural areas might believe that the close-knit nature of their small town will get them out of a ticket. However, motorists should not think that knowing the officer who pulled them over will help them avoid a ticket.
D
Local law enforcement officers are actually trained to spot seat belt violations at night, so just because it’s dark, don’t think they won’t be able to spot unbelted drivers.
