Question:

Ashley is writing an essay about John F. Kennedy's 1963 State of the Union address. She finds the following quotation from a credible source to include in her essay.

"Our economic health depends on healthy transportation arteries; and I believe the way to a more modern, economical choice of national transportation service is through increased competition and decreased regulation. Local mass transit, faring even worse, is as essential a community service as hospitals and highways. Nearly three-fourths of our citizens live in urban areas, which occupy only 2 percent of our land—and if local transit is to survive and relieve the congestion of these cities, it needs Federal stimulation and assistance" (Kennedy, 1963).

Which two statements demonstrate correct paraphrasing of the quotation?

A. The current assessment of our economy reveals that there is a need for improvements to our transit system and the removal of regulatory restrictions placed upon this system. Public transportation is just as important as other public services, affects a majority of our citizens, and is in dire need of governmental aid (Kennedy, 1963).

B. The health of our economy is dependent on the health of our national transportation arteries. More economical choices can be achieved through increased competition and decreased regulation. Three-fourths of our citizens live in cities and government aid is needed to help relieve the congestion in these areas (Kennedy, 1963).

C. The economic health of our country depends on a healthy transportation system and I propose that a way to have a more modern transportation service is to increase competition and remove regulations. Almost three-fourth of us live in cities and in order for local transit to survive, they will need our help (Kennedy, 1963).

D. The success of our economy is directly connected to our transportation system. This success can only be obtained by providing more government-sponsored economic stimulation and reducing constraints, which will enable the majority of the population that live in cities to have effective public transportation (Kennedy, 1963).

E. The economy is dependent on the health of our transportation system. This system is just as important of a community service as hospitals and highways. Most of our citizens live in urban areas, which occupy about 2 percent of our country. If these cities are to survive, they need Federal aid and assistance (Kennedy, 1963).
