Read the paragraph.

To conserve fuel and save lives, the national speed limit of 55 miles per hour should be restored. Gas prices are very high right now, so going slower would help to save money for many drivers. Also, there are too many deaths on the freeways. If drivers slowed down, fewer deaths would occur.

What is the writer trying to accomplish in this paragraph?
persuade drivers to drive less
persuade drivers to slow down
inform drivers of high gas prices
inform drivers of death rates on the freeways
