Answer 1

For the Hawaii essay:
- A (description of Hawaiian history) would NOT help most, because the assignment asks about your recent experiences; historical background is off-topic unless directly tied to what you personally did.

For the seat belt argument (choose TWO):
- D (Seat belts have been conclusively shown to prevent vehicular injuries and deaths)
- E (Seat belts provide a harness which keeps a person in place if there is a collision)

These two give direct, relevant reasons supporting a mandatory seat belt law.
