Which statement best paraphrases the controlling idea in this introduction paragraph?
Is it fair for a few misbehaving kids to ruin everyone's good time? Of
course not, but that's exactly what has happened at the Galleria Mall.
Some teenagers caused trouble last month, and now anyone under
age 18 must be with a parent after 7 p. m. I think there are ways to
solve this problem without punishing all kids. I suggest that kids under
18 be allowed to walk the mall unattended as long as their parents are
in the building
A. Parents should do a better job of disciplining their children at the
mall so they don't get into trouble.
O B. Kids should be able to enjoy the mall on their own as long as their
parents are nearby
O C. All kids are being unfairly punished because of a few
troublemakers.
OD. The mall is not a place for teenagers to hang out unattended,
because teenagers cause trouble.
