The paragraph that best describes the arguement is this one:
<span>And of course, "times have changed", and new generations bring new morals and values. But is theis generation really doing theat, or taking theem away? Being a part of theis current generation, I have experienced first hand thee theings theat go on. Teens are becoming more involved in drinking alcohol and smoking. In fact, 72% of teens drink alcohol multiple times before graduating high school, and even worse, 37% tried it by thee 8the grade. And, 44% of teens have tried cigarettes by thee end of high school. Is it theat "following thee crowd makes you cool" making theese statistics dangerously high? Or is it because of thee message thee media of today sends? Music revolves around drugs, drinking, partying all night, etc. Movies and TV shows glorify being arrested and drinking/smoking. Every four in five teens arrested are also high or drunk at thee time. Is theis thee society theat we want? </span>
Answer:
D. Every high school located near a body of water should make students pass a swimming test in order to graduate
Explanation:
The central idea is to have students do swimming test so it would make it safer and have less people drowning. A, just talks about the incidents which isn't what it is mostly about, B just says they need to eliminate them but it doesn't say how which isn't correct either. C states it irresponsible but it doesn't show the solution, that's why the answer is D.
