Answer 1

Read the following evidence and viewpoint.

Evidence: Studies have shown that sending or receiving a text message diverts a driver's attention for an average of 4.6 seconds.

Viewpoint: Cell phones should never be used while driving.

Answer 2

Which best uses the evidence to support the viewpoint?

Answer 3

Distractions, such as sending and receiving text messages, are extremely dangerous for those driving, which is why great care should be taken to avoid any unnecessary distractions.

On average, text messages take 4.6 seconds to send or receive, which is a major distraction while driving and performing daily activities, especially if one sends and receives a lot of text messages throughout a day.

Cell phones are to blame for people who are distracted while driving, especially since studies have proven that sending or receiving a text message while driving takes an average of 4.6 seconds.

One major distraction that should be eliminated while driving is cell phones, as studies have shown that sending or receiving a text message diverts a driver's attention from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds.

Answer 4

got any guesses or ideas?

Answer 5

i think it is D
but i'm not sure

Answer 6

i'm thinking between C or D.

can you tell me why you think it is D?

Answer 7

well, in C it says driving takes an average of 4.6 seconds
and that's not true

Answer 8

" sending or receiving a text message while driving takes an average of 4.6 seconds."

it says sending or receiving a text message not driving .-.

Answer 9

yeah but still, even messaging does not take 4.6 sec

Answer 10

i just think it is worded awkwardly

Answer 11

Your answer is right but your reasoning is pretty weak.Here's how to defend why D is the right answer. The evidence between the two choices are right.

Now see the difference between C and D:

In choice C, evidence is telling us the the distraction is really the usage of cellphones while driving but this is not trying to connect with the viewpoint which is "Cell phones should never be used while driving."

In choice D, it is referring to the viewpoint because of it says that using cps are one of the blah blah and SHOULD BE ELIMINATED.

clear?

Answer 12
