Question

Should driving while talking on a cell phone be illegal? I wish to comment on the recent ordinance passed by City Council that bans the use of cell phones while driving. First of all, driving while talking on the phone is dangerous because these distracted drivers cause accidents. Secondly, it is annoying to drive behind a person talking on the phone because they do not pay attention. As a result, they may drive too slow or not move at the intersection when the light changes. Furthermore, cell phones are not allowed on airplanes. Why should a car be any different? We should all be proud of our city leaders for addressing this problem. What is the purpose of this letter? Select one: a. Persuade Correct b. Inform c. Explain a process d. Analyze

Answer 1

Answer:

I think the answer is to persuade.

might be to inform as well.

Explanation:

I think it is to persuade because the author asks the question "why should a car be any different?"  as to let the readers imagination run with it.

I also think it may be to inform because the author says "driving while talking on the phone is dangerous" so the author could be saying I don't think its a good idea to have a phone in the car and this is why.

I could be wrong but that is what I think
