The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The author's purpose or reason for writing this editorial was to inform and make people conscious about the terrible oil spill in April 2010in the Gulf of México, with the explosion of a British Petroleum rig. This spill caused so much damage to the ecosystem and the environment of the Gulf of México.
The two details from the text that support the answer are the following. The author, Kate Jackson, writes that the BP company knew about the possibility of an accident of this magnitude but it didn't do anything to prevent it. She said that David Rainey, an executive form British Petroleum, had assured the members of the Senate that the facility had no risk of a spill.
The other detail that supports the answer is that she wrote that the oil industry always had been aware of the dangers of spills but never has done so much to prevent them. Also, people like Robert Bea, an offshore engineer, had warned British Petroleum.
D. Hook. It is relevant to trying to 'hook' or reel in your reader for a great catch. ;)
An example:
<em>The creak grew louder. I whipped around and out of the corner of my eye, a shadow danced. I twisted back. I heard padding feet behind me. Desperate, I turned in circles as laughing began.....</em><em> </em>would that be captivating? Or what about:
<em>Yesterday was ok. We went to get ice cream. I got stawberry. But it fell on the ground. </em> Wouldn't you want to immediatly put THAT book down?

<span>B."Given this, a parent might be tempted to give up trying to make good decisions and simply let the chips fall where they may."
This is the counterclaim, but the author continues to show how it's not a good idea to completely go the other way, that children will notice if their parents give up and might think they don't care about their future.</span>
