Opinion: It is dangerous to allow sixteen-year-olds to drive because they are too young to perform such an important task.
Claim: The driving age in the United States should be raised to 18.
Which opening statement best reflects the information above?
(1 point)
Raising the driving age to 18 will prevent many car accidents, but it will delay the gaining of valuable driving experience.
Increasing the driving age will result in a more active society as teenagers explore other transportation options, such as walking or riding bikes.
Because 18-year-olds are more emotionally mature, they are more likely to make smart, informed decisions while driving.
Raising the driving age to 18 will prevent many teenagers from getting part time jobs and participating in extracurricular activities at school because they will not be able to provide their own transportation.
