Read the paragraph. (1) Each state should enact a law that makes wearing seat belts mandatory for all passengers and drivers in

cars and trucks. (2) Statistics show that seat belts reduce serious crash-related injuries and deaths by fifty percent. (3) As a result of laws like this in various states, seat belt usage in the United States has dramatically increased in the past thirty years. (4) Some people believe that the government does not have the right to force people to be safe, and that these laws are unfair. (5) The bottom line is that seat belts are proven to save lives; therefore, everyone should be forced to wear one if they want to travel by car or truck.

Answer:

sentence 1

Explanation:

The author's claim or assertion of the truth of something is stated in the topic sentence, which is usually the first of the paragraph. In that matter, the topic sentence serves as a summary of what the paragraph will be about, while the following sentences provide evidence, examples and explanation to support it. Thus, the declaration that wearing seat belts should be mandatory for all passengers and drivers in cars and trucks in all states is justified by the rest of the sentences.

I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF YOU DO THIS FOR ME PLEASE
Furkat [3]

Answer:

I woke up on a typical quarantine day. Nothing to do, nowhere to go. As I walk into my kitchen, I realize my house is eerily quiet. "Mom...? Dad...?" I say into the quiet room. I search around the house and find nobody's home. "Weird..." I say to myself out loud. I walk back into the kitchen, hoping to find some food. I open a cupboard and an odd key falls out. I jump back in surprise. "Whoa, where'd you come from?" I ask. The key starts glowing dimly. I walk around with the key in my hand. As I pass an old painting hung in the kitchen, it glows brighter. I move aside the painting to reveal a secret door. I look around, just to make sure nobody's around. I put the key in the lock, and slowly push open the door. I stick my head in and look inside. Nothing but black and purple for miles. Suddenly, I lose my grip on the doorpost and fall in! "WHOA!" I shout with shock.

When I felt myself stop falling, I decided to open my eyes and what I saw was astounding. "Where am I?" As I look around, I see blue clouds, a bright sun, and large castles. I check my pockets and find the key. It stopped glowing for some reason. I decide to explorer to see if I can find a way home. Suddenly, out of no where, a horse comes running up to me and a girl hops off. "New around here?" She asks with a friendly smile spread across her face. "Uh, yea I guess you could say that," I reply, smiling back. "Well hop on and I'll give you a tour. My name's Jodie by the ways," she motions towards her horse. "I'm <u>(your name)</u>," I tell her as I hop on her horse. "Cool. Let me take you to the castle, that's where I live," she smiles proudly. We soon arrive to the castle, and the key starts dimly glowing again. "Quick warning, you can't get caught by anyone. If you're spotted, we'll both be in so much trouble," says Jodie nervously. "Gotcha, no getting busted." I reply. We walk into the castle, but didn't get any further than the main entrance when we were spotted. "RUN!" Shouts Jodie. We make a break for it and end up in the castle's gourmet kitchen. I lose Jodie on the way in. "Psst. Over here," she calls from her pantry. I quickly hop in, the key glowing brighter in my pocket. "It's not safe here for you, you better escape," Jodie says worriedly. "Don't worry, I got this," I reassure her. I take the key out of my pocket and move a barrel out of the way, revealing another door. "That wasn't there before?" Says Jodie, eyes wide. "Bye Jodie," I say, as I open the door and crawl inside, closing it behind me. "Wait!" She says, but it's too late. The door disappears as soon as it's shut, and I'm back in my kitchen. "Well that was weird. Maybe I'll keep this key to myself for now," I decide.

Hope this helps :)
