ANSWER: B

Answer 1

The correct concluding sentence reinforces avoiding distractions while driving, particularly texting, urging safe driving practices and suggesting strategies to reduce texting and driving based on psychological research.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to the issue of distractions while driving, particularly the dangerous behavior of texting while driving. This behavior has been demonstrated to impair driving performance, reduce response times, and increase the risk of accidents, which is why it has been banned in many states. The correct concluding sentence to the call to action in the provided text should reinforce the importance of avoiding such distractions, encouraging safe driving practices, and possibly suggest further research or policy implementation to reduce the prevalence of texting and driving. To effectively combat the habit of texting while driving, referenced as an 'event schema', strategies suggested by psychologists could include the use of technology to block mobile phone usage while driving or public awareness campaigns to shift social norms and behaviors around phone use in vehicles.

Answer 3

- Put your phone away when you drive, and keep your eyes on the road.

A call to action specifically tells the reader to do something. While A is a list of actions, the sentence is not telling the reader to eat, drink, adjust the radio, or text. Option C is also not a call to action. It is simply a statement of fact. Both Option B and D are calls to action. They both tell the reader what to do. In option B the reader is told to put his phone away and option D tells the reader to get your license. Option B is the most relevant. It follows with the purpose of the essay the best.
