Raise the Driving Age to Eighteen! After reading Mr. J. Brown's letter, dated August 15, I feel compelled to write and let your

readers know how I feel about raising the driving age from 16 to 18. Teenagers should not be allowed to drive until they are 18. Only high school graduates should be given a driver's license, and only after successfully completing a driver's education class during high school. Right now, 15 year-olds can get a practice permit and try for their license at 16. Eighteen is a better age. At 18, people are more mature and better able to make mature decisions. Not all 18 year-olds are mature, but the majority of them are. At least we are more mature than 15 year-olds. What is the main purpose of this passage? A) to warn older drivers to be careful when they drive B) to convince readers to support raising the driving age C) to entertain teens with stories of safe drivers D) to support insurance claims against teens who get into accidents

Answer:

B) to convince readers to support raising the driving age

Explanation:

The author's purpose in this passage is to convince readers to support raising the driving age. The author explicitly says several times that teenagers below the age of eighteen are not mature enough to be allowed to drive; therefore, the age at which teenagers are allowed to drive needs to be raised from sixteen to eighteen.

<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>

Answer:

"Press down hard on the brake pedal, hold it down, and steer out of danger."

Explanation:

I would recommend the hand brake or try pumping your breaks. But I heard if you need to stop the car and if the roads are slippery, then you can't really do much since the roads are slippery.

Which of these situations is most analogous to parallel computing?
seraphim [82]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

The key word is simultaneously when it comes to parallel computing. Although the option <em>could </em>potentially be C, it's more likely to be A because it's "more right" in the words of my old English teacher. This is because A implies them working on it at the same time to reach the goal more effectively (another key word).
