Instructions:Select the correct text in the passage. Identify the main idea in the passage. Danger: Cell Phone Driver by Hank Upp A law should be passed that bans the use of a cell phone while driving. Too often I have seen people driving recklessly while engaged in conversation on a cell phone. They can't seem to find time to exercise proper vehicle functions or safe driving procedures because they are too busy gabbing on their phones. One hand holds the phone to the ear, and the other hand is used to steer. In fact, a study has shown that more accidents are caused by people using cell phones while driving than by people who are drunk while driving. The need for restricting cell phone use is clear. These careless people are endangering you and me on the public streets, and I believe the time has come to call for an end to this needless and potentially dangerous practice.

I went with the first sentence: "A law should be passed that bans the use of a cell phone while driving", although "careless people are endangering you and me on the public streets, and I believe the time has come to call for an end to this needless and potentially dangerous practice" means the same thing, with more detail.

Answer:

DONT USE THIS ANSWER!!! I got it wrong on my test. Use the answer above me because I can't delete my answer.

I believe the answer would be "more accidents are cause by people using cell phones while driving than by people who are drunk while driving."

Explanation:

Now I know that the person above may sound right but think about. If you've ever payed attention (no disrespect) to the teacher you would know that she/he would always say that the first may sound like the main idea but it is called a Introductory Sentence. Then they tell you to use context clues and it being obvious the answer is C. The reason is because it's telling you what the story is about which is the main idea. The Introductory Sentence is giving you a clear view of what the story is going to be about.
