Question

Although boating enthusiasts spend a lot of money on nautical equipment, a recent study shows that many boaters do not take basic safety precautions. About 35 percent of boaters do not bring an adequate amount of drinking water and extra fuel on board. Many boaters admitted that they do not follow the right-of-way boating rules and do not lower their speed in marinas.
The writer wishes to add a sentence that describes the importance of safe boating. Given that all the following statements are true, which one, if added here, would most clearly and effectively accomplish the writer’s goal?

1.Considering that boating is projected to increase in popularity, more stringent boating laws and policies should be implemented.

2.Ironically, enrollment in boating classes has increased at many continuing education centers.

3.Boaters need to also be conscientious about the effects of boating on wildlife.

Answer 1

The statement that would clearly and effectively accomplish the writer's goal is 1.Considering that boating is projected to increase in popularity, more stringent boating laws and policies should be implemented. 

As the passage suggests that boaters do not take safety precautions like not bringing an adequate amount of drinking water, not getting extra fuel and do not lower their speed in a marina. Also, they admit that do not know the correct way of boating and are not aware regarding the rules. On contrary, they spend a lot of money on buying nautical equipment. Hence, since it's becoming popular there should be laws and policies implemented for the boaters in order to avoid any kind of misshapen and for the safety of the boaters. Such laws and policies will prevent people who are not aware regarding the correct way of boating.
