Turning 16 has long been a rite of passage, as teens head to the Department of Motor Vehicles to get their license to drive, but that may change if conservative state senator Rob Evans has his way. Evans proposes raising the minimum age for a temporary driver’s permit to 16.5, requiring teens to have six months and 50 hours behind the wheel before they can take a driving test. Evans, 66, says that “times have changed” since he was 16 and that today’s teens “do not exhibit the same caution and concentration” his generation did. Clearly, Senator Evans is living in the past. Students need their licenses to get to school, activities, and part-time jobs. Documenting driving hours takes time and money. Call Senator Evans and let him know that this is an unnecessary and ridiculous proposal. Which details reveal the reporter’s purposes in the editorial?

Announcer two: ladies and gentlemen, following on the news given in our bulletin a moment ago, the government meteorological bureau has requested the large observatories of the country to keep an astronomical watch on any further disturbances occurring on the planet mars. due to the unusual nature of this occurrence, we have arranged an interview with noted astronomer professor pierson, who will give us his views on the event. in a few moments we will take you to the princeton observatory at princeton, new jersey. we return you until then to the music of ramón raquello and his orchestra. the passage is from the transcript of the radio adaptation of the war of the worlds by h. g. wells. instead of including expert interviews, h. g. wells uses a narrator to tell about an alien invasion that occurred a few years earlier. by including expert interviews, how does the radio broadcast change the story most effectively? o. a. it puts the story in the past tense, increasing its personal tone. o o b. it makes the broadcast sound more like a fictional story. o o c. it makes the broadcast sound like a news report. o d. it makes the story sound less believable by changing who presents the story's details.
