Question

Which excerpt from the Click It or Ticket Mobilization Media Campaign best expresses that seat belts greatly improve safety?

Answer 1

If these are the choices:
In 2012, 3,031 additional lives could have been saved if all unrestrained passenger vehicle occupants 5 and older involved in fatal crashes had worn their seat belts.

Those who drive and ride in pickup trucks may think that their large vehicle will protect them more than other vehicles in a crash.

More men than women die every year in motor vehicle traffic crashes. In 2012, 65 percent of the 21,667 passenger vehicle occupants killed were men.

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.

MY ANSWER IS:
In 2012, 3,031 additional lives could have been saved if all unrestrained passenger vehicle occupants 5 and older involved in fatal crashes had worn their seat belts.

The above excerpt doesn't directly say that seat belts greatly improve safety. However, it presented statistical facts that would have been avoided had these passengers worn their seat belts.

Answer 2

Option A "In 2012, 3,031 additional lives could have been saved if all unrestrained passenger vehicle occupants 5 and older involved in fatal crashes had worn their seat belts." BEST expresses that seat belts greatly improve safety.
