Read the sentence from an argumentative essay about wearing helmets while riding a bike.Always wear a helmet when riding a bike because riding without one is stupid.Which revision exhibits the best word choice for the underlined portion of the sentence?

Calling riding without a helmet “dangerous and reckless” directly describes the safety risk and is more appropriate in an argumentative essay than the insulting word “stupid.” The other choices are vague or do not clearly explain the danger.
