Question about English 3
7.01 evaluating a speaker

Answer 1

I can't decide between the quotes:

What evidence is presented to support the claim? *

"The doctors had come in the second time and told us that they didn't think Alex would make it—that they'd lost her several times, and they needed to know what we wanted to do. And my wife and I had to make the decision to let her go."

"With kids that age, I think it's more of an addiction, you know, they have to get that text, they have to be talking to somebody all the time. She believed me in so many things, and she did what I told her to do the whole time she was growing up, but this one thing we couldn't get her to quit."

"Just in my heart, I knew. She had taken a back road to school that morning. She wasn't supposed to take it, because it was a dangerous road. And that's where I found her truck, out in the field."

and the following question

What ideas are stated which are related to the claim? Choose all that apply: *
0/3
It is devastating to lose someone due to distracted driving
Sometimes we think, "It won't happen to me."
Distracted driving is dangerous.
Taking a backroad to school can be dangerous.

Answer 2

oh heres the claim: Distracted driving kills. Safe driving starts with you.

Answer 3

I just have no ideas which quote to use

Answer 4

I think it's either between the 2nd or third quote. What do you think?

Answer 5

Yeah I chose the second one but I haven't yet checked it

Answer 6

and for the second question I chose: It is devastating to lose someone due to distracted driving and Distracted driving is dangerous. What do you think?

Answer 7

I think that sounds right. But I'm also looking more toward "Sometimes we think, "It won't happen to me.""

Answer 8

what should I replace with "It won't happen to me.""

Answer 9

because before both Sometimes we think, "It won't happen to me." and
Distracted driving is dangerous. were wrong :\ together

Answer 10

when I submitted it

Answer 11

I'm very confused.

Answer 12

Can you choose 3 statements?

Answer 13

When I submitted BOTH: Sometimes we think, "It won't happen to me." and
Distracted driving is dangerous. they were wrong. So should I just select JUST "It won't happen to me."?

Answer 14

I think so. It's up to you though.

Answer 15

alright well I think It is devastating to lose someone due to distracted driving has no relation to the qoute so I think just Sometimes we think, "It won't happen to me." works

Answer 16

another question: The speaker uses the words "dangerous." "lost," and "last time" to create a ______________ tone. *
Cautious
Mournful
Regretful

Somone said it was cautious but not sure.

Also I just selected "It won't happen to me."

Answer 17

That one sounds like it could be cautious because when someone says "dangerous" they're usually like "Be careful" and that's cautious. "Lost" and "Last time" Kind of sound like regretful things so I would go with regret. Like if you weren't practicing safe driving you would regret it later and be cautious later but you first have to get through the regret stage. Am I making sense?

Answer 18

Yeah, thanks so much :D.

Answer 19

You're welcome! Hope You Get them right!

Answer 20

yeah :)
