It may be not needed but I would like to start the explanation by stating what etymology is. Etymology is the study of the origin of the words, their roots and their changes over different periods of time. Having said this, let us now describe why etymology is significant in the development of languages. The importance of the study of the origin, the roots and the constituents of words comes crucial when trying to form bigger and more complex vocabulary as ones advances in their academic life. it is also a crucial discipline to analyze when studying a second or a foreign language. Languages sometimes share origins in word formation, and knowing this facilitates the learning process. For example:
1.- The English word Marinade comes from the French Mariner which also comes from the Latin Marinare that means to soak in cooking liquid. In Spanish the word to mean the same is Marinar.
2.- The English Word Blouse comes also from the French Blouse /blus/ it is written the same but the pronunciation changes. And in Spanish the word is Blusa.
By analyzing these examples we can see that knowing the etymology of a word helps us learn vocabulary from different languages that share their words' roots and origins.
Answer:

Answer:
The supporting evidence the writer give to convince readers that teens "aren't being tested consistently or thoroughly" are:
1. 35% of the 459 high school seniors were actually tested on just 7 or less of the 12 driving skills which the state police testers are supposed to check. 41% affirmed they were tested on 10 or more.
2. 56% of the students said their test actually lasted for 10 minutes or less but only 15% said theirs lasted for over 20 minutes.
3. 21% of them said their driving school is "fair" or "poor" while 24% said their is excellent.
Explanation:
From the above answer which we see from the passage, we discover that the writer gave statistical evidence in order to support his claim that teens "aren't being tested consistently or thoroughly".
From the evidences given by the writer, one can deduce that the testing process is not actually consistent and thorough. There seems to be disparity among the students - some seem to have good experience while others don't really have. These can be seen from the evidence provided by the writer.
