You are going to give a speech to a group of politicians arguing that it should be illegal to use a cell phone while driving. which supporting detail should you include? cell phone usage while driving has caused over 300 fatal accidents in 2018 alone. only a mad person would use their cell phone while driving. something has to be done! phones can be very handy in the car. you can use them for directions and to let people know where you are. i once tried to send a text while driving, and i almost hit another car.

The best option to include in a speech with the purpose to argue about not using cell phones while driving is the first supporting statement:

"Cell phone usage while driving has caused over 300 fatal accidents in 2018 alone."

it is the best choice because it is impersonal, unlike option D, in which the author expresses their own opinion. It is less aggressive than option B, but more direct than option C, in which it is stated that cell phones are helpful and there seems to be nothing wrong with using them when in a car.

Additionally, option A seems more reliable than the rest, because it includes a number of accidents that happened in the past, which implies that the negative effect of driving while using the phone has been studied before.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
