Opponents of laws that require automobile drivers and passengers to wear seat belts argue that in a free society people have the right to take risks as long as the people do not harm other as a result of taking the risks. As a result, they conclude that it should be each person's decision whether or not to wear a seat belt. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion drawn above?Choose the best optionClear ResponseMany new cars are built with seat belts that automatically fasten when someone sits in the front seat.Automobile insurance rates for all automobile owners are higher because of the need to pay for the increased injuries or deaths of people not wearing seat belts.Passengers in airplanes are required to wear seat belts during takeoffs and landingsThe rate of automobile fatalities in states that do not have mandatory seat belt laws is greater than the rate of fatalities in states that do have such laws

1. ‘Click!” That’s the sound of safety. That’s the sound of survival. That’s the sound of a seat belt locking in place. Seat belts save lives and that’s a fact. That’s why I don’t drive anywhere until mine is on tight. Choosing to wear your seat belt is as simple as choosing between life and death. Which one do you choose?2. Think about it. When you’re driving in a car, you may be going 60 MPH or faster. That car is zipping down the road. Then somebody ahead of you locks up his or her brakes. Your driver doesn’t have time to stop. The car that you are in crashes. Your car was going 60 miles per hour. Now it has suddenly stopped. Your body, however, is still going 60 MPH. What’s going to stop your body? Will it be the windshield or your seat belt? Every time that you get into a car you make that choice. I choose the seat belt.3. Some people think that seat belts are uncool. They think that seat belts cramp their style, or that seat belts are uncomfortable. To them, I say, what’s more uncomfortable? Wearing a seat belt or flying through a car windshield? What’s more uncool? Being safely anchored to a car, or skidding across the road in your jeans or shorts? Wearing a seat belt is both cooler and more comfortable than the alternatives.4. Let’s just take a closer look at your choices. If you are not wearing your seatbelt, you can hop around the car and slide in and out of your seat easily. That sounds like a lot of fun. But, you are also more likely to die or suffer serious injuries. If you are wearing a seat belt, you have to stay in your seat. That’s no fun. But, you are much more likely to walk away unharmed from a car accident. Hmmm… A small pleasure for a serious pain. That’s a tough choice. I think that I’ll avoid the serious pain.5. How about giving money away? Do you like to give your money away? Probably not. And when you don’t wear your seat belt, you are begging to give your money away. That’s because kids are required to wear seat belts in every state in several countries. If you’re riding in a car, and you don’t have a seat belt on, the police can give you or your driver a challan ticket. Then you will have to pay a fine for the offence.6. Wearing a seat belt does not make you invincible. You can still get hurt or killed while wearing your seatbelt. But wearing them has proven to be safer than driving without them. You are much less likely to be killed in a car wreck if you are wearing a seat belt. You are much less likely to get seriously injured if you are wearing one. So why not take the safer way? Why not go the way that has been proven to result in fewer deaths? You do want to live, don’t you?Q 1.10Pick the title that best expresses the main idea of this text.[1]ACar Accidents: Ways That We Can Prevent ThemB Slow Down: Save Lives By Driving SlowerCSeat belts: Return Home to SafetyDFollow Traffic Rules ResetAdd text answerQ 1.11‘A small pleasure for a serious pain’… what does the author mean by the words ‘a small pleasure’? [1]ATalking over the phone while driving     B Parking anywhere one feels likeCDriving the car without a seat beltD Listening to loud music inside the carResetAdd text answerQ 1.12What is the meaning of the word ‘alternative’ as used in the third paragraph? [1]AOther choicesBBeing unsafeCDriving fastDBeing safeReset
