Question 9 of 10 • CA-Expository Reading and Writing B

“The story line remains the same. The kids live in what was then one of the remaining beachfront slums, down the coast from the expensive Malibu area. The beach was ruled by surfers, but in the afternoon, when the waves died down, some of the surfers, or their younger brothers, fooled around on skateboards. One day, Skip Engblom, the shop owner, comes up with a key breakthrough, polyurethane wheels: "They grip." With the additional traction, the Z-Boys try skating the sides of the big, open drainage canal that runs through the area. Then comes a brainstorm: Because of a drought, the area's swimming pools were drained. The kids started "borrowing" pools when the owners weren't home, to skate the curved sides.”What is the purpose of the paragraph above?a.to explain the reasons kids shouldn’t skateboard.c.to summarize the story line of “Lords of Dogtown”b.to explain why you should go see the movie “Lords of Dogtown”d.to explain why the reader should not go see “Lords of Dogtown”
