Question
Use the passages to answer the question:
(Introduction 1:
“If I’m old enough to drive, I’m old enough to vote,” is what Lilly’s younger brother says. I say being able to drive has nothing to do with the ability to make an informed vote. Sure, driving is hard and requires critical thinking, but voting requires a deeper understanding of community, politics, and government. Voting is too important and influential to place in the hands of sixteen-year-olds who can still be easily influenced by peer and family pressure.
Introduction 2:
Who are the state representatives for your district? Adults and teens alike struggle to answer this question. People eighteen and older who live in a district vote for state representatives for their district. To make an informed vote, people must research the candidates, consider what issues are important, and determine whether a candidate will effectively represent them. In essence, it is a lot of work and a big responsibility. Suffrage is not something to be given out freely. I applaud the involvement of young teens fighting for a lower voting age, but I do not support their cause. The voting age should not be lowered because the average sixteen-year-old does not have the life experience to make reasonable decisions about issues and candidates.)
How are these introductory sections different?
a. Unlike Introduction 2, Introduction 1 uses an anecdote to engage readers.
b. Unlike Introduction 1, Introduction 2 uses specific reasoning.
c. Unlike Introduction 2, Introduction 1 challenges the views of teenagers.
d. Unlike Introduction 1, Introduction 2 appeals to a specific audience.

The correct answer is:
**a. Unlike Introduction 2, Introduction 1 uses an anecdote to engage readers.**
Introduction 1 begins with a statement from Lilly's younger brother, which serves as an anecdote to illustrate a point about voting age and the perspective of a teenager. In contrast, Introduction 2 presents factual information and reasoning about the responsibilities of voting without using a personal story or anecdote.
