Question

Which excerpt from Click It or Ticket Mobilization Media Campaign best achieves the purpose of informing people that seat belt laws are enforced nationwide? 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. In 2012, 13,268 traffic fatalities occurred in rural locations, compared to 8,341 traffic fatalities that occurred in urban locations. 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. 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.

Answer 1

Correct answer is 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.

Answer 2

The excerpt from Click It or Ticket Mobilization Media Campaign that best achieves the purpose of informing people that seat belt laws are enforced nationwide is: "People who live in rural areas might believe that the close-knit neture of their small town will get them out of a ticket. However, motorist should not think that knowing the officer who pulled them over will help them avoid a ticket." First, the text states the argument that people who live in rural areas might believe to be true: that it is harder to get a ticket in a small town becouse they all know each other. After that, the text gives a counter argument to show that their belief is mistaken.
