Question

Read the passage below and respond to the prompt using RACE format.
Make sure to consider that your response will be grade on content and organization. Make sure to have all components: a clear answer supported by well-chosen evidence and sufficient elaboration.
It is Friday evening… I cannot wait to have my friends jump into the car to catch up with Tom’s birthday party. We have barely driven a mile when a police officer greets me with a ticket. Why? I am 16 years old, carrying four teenagers, at night and in absence of an adult. Our plan for some fun just failed, but what succeeded was important legislation to keep us safe.
Even though teenagers frequently disagree with adults about rules, there is a universal desire to save life; especially of beloved ones. Everyone knows how irresponsible teen drivers are, so it is logical that they are highly restricted. According to a 2016 study by the Travel Safety Commission, teen drivers are more likely to get into accidents due to inexperience, carrying disruptive teenagers as passengers, and driving at less safe times like during the night.
In the current provisions of law, persons aged below 18 years are regarded as minors. This label keeps them from the election ballot box and military uniform, so in equal fairness, it should keep them from putting their lives in danger by driving whomever they want, wherever they want, whenever they want. Failing to support this legislation means potential loss of life of our young drivers are on your hands.
Teenagers are still in a phase of growth. Consequently, restricted driving permission and Graduated driving programs are creative ways to encourage exploration behind the wheel with a care for lives. Much like schooling levels, this program charts a learner’s progress in driving while rewarding performance with advanced licensing privileges.
If we can save life while accommodating youthful adventure in restricted teenage driving, we thus embrace the solution.
Evaluate the argument above as effective or ineffective in proving the claim. Provide specific evidence to support your evaluation with sufficient elaboration to show your thinking.

Answer 13

My major is English...and I've never used the RACE format...

Answer 14

So basically do you need a short paragraph regarding the prompt?

Answer 15

yes a paragraph

Answer 16

I'll just give in a bit of my input. Although they give quite some evidence that teenage driving can be deadly, they don't really give enough info on what they can do to prevent it from happening.

Answer 17

Oh, also, the first paragraph isn't exactly giving any valid basis at all xD

Answer 18

ok that'll be fine

Answer 19

Answer 21

"Teenagers are still in a phase of growth. Consequently, restricted driving permission and Graduated driving programs are creative ways to encourage exploration behind the wheel with a care for lives. Much like schooling levels, this program charts a learner’s progress in driving while rewarding performance with advanced licensing privileges.
If we can save life while accommodating youthful adventure in restricted teenage driving, we thus embrace the solution."


So...the reason I don't find this part compelling at all is, well, they don't explain how exactly their "program" will help save lives

Answer 22

ok

Answer 23

This could be a more opinionated point of view though, you can decide what you want to write :)

Answer 24

if this claim is /effective/ or /ineffective/- If we can save life while accommodating youthful adventure in restricted teenage driving, we thus embrace the solution.

Answer 25

and why it would be ineffective or effective

Answer 26

Hm. Just that sentence alone I don't think is effective. The argument is a bit circular (if we can find a solution we will embrace the solution"

Answer 27

Doesn't hurt to get a second opinion though

Answer 28

yea well thts true but i think it may be ineffective b/c the statement does not give enough proof on how," we will embrace the solution"

Answer 29

@Vocaloid Yeah its obvious tht its ineffective
