Mystery and Suspense; Espionage and Intrigue — Test

Question 6 • Language Arts 9

Which claim is the most effective for the argument that the minimum age to get a driver’s license should be changed to 18?

Answer

Some 16-year-olds help out by driving their younger siblings to school, so changing the minimum driving age to 18 would be a problem for them.

Some 16-year-olds are mature enough to drive, but changing the minimum driving age to 18 would be an overall benefit for everyone.

Changing the minimum driving age to 18 shouldn’t cause too much of a problem, because it’s only two years older than 16.

Changing the minimum driving age to 18 would mean safer roads for everyone, since less-experienced drivers are more likely to have accidents.

Explanation

The argument supports raising the minimum driving age, so the strongest claim should give a clear reason why the change is beneficial. Choice C connects raising the age to safer roads by noting that less-experienced drivers are more likely to have accidents. Choices A and D emphasize drawbacks, while B says the change is only a small inconvenience rather than explaining its benefits.
