Question

(1) On her way back to college, Leslie had an odd sensation when she heard the burst of rubber and the steering wheel started shaking violently. (2) It was as if instinct immediately took control of her body. (3) Instead of Leslie panicking and slamming her foot onto the brake pedal, Leslie eased her foot off of the gas, and she used strong, but even motions to steer the car to the shoulder of the road. (4) This had never happened to her before. (5) Leslie knew what it was. (6) Her front, driver’s side tire had blown out. (7) Missy, her best friend, had one of her tires blow out on two different occasions. (8) Fortunately, Leslie’s mother had prepared her for this particular emergency.
