Question 1

Directions : Apply the knowledge you have gained from Chapter 13 to select the best answer to the questions about the following reading passages. Safe Driving ¹The major threat to the lives of college students isn't illness but injury. Almost 75 percent of deaths among Americans 15 to 24 years old are caused by "unintentional injuries" (a term public health officials prefer), suicides, and homicides. Accidents, especially motor vehicle crashes, kill more college-age men and women than all other causes combined; the greatest number of lives lost to accidents is among those 25 years of age. One key factor in increasing your odds of staying safe on the road is staying sober and alert. ²The number of fatalities caused by drunk driving, particularly among young people, has dropped. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration attributes this decline to increases in the drinking age, to educational programs aimed at reducing nighttime driving by teens, to the formation of Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD, originally called Students Against Drunk Driving) and similar groups, and to changes in state laws that lowered the legal blood-alcohol concentration level for drivers under age 21 (some states have zero tolerance blood-alcohol level for drivers under 21). Although most drunk drivers are men, more young women are driving drunk and getting into fatal car accidents than ever before. More young women than men involved in deadly crashes had high blood-alcohol levels in a recent analysis of data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. ³Falling asleep at the wheel is second only to alcohol as a cause of serious motor vehicle accidents. About half of drivers in the United States drive while drowsy. Nearly 14 million have fallen asleep at the wheel in the past year, according to the National Sleep Foundation. Men and young adults between the ages of 18 and 29 are at the highest risk for driving while drowsy or falling asleep at the wheel. In a recent study, adolescents who had at least one previous crash reported more nighttime driving, more occasions of driving while sleepy, bad sleep, and use of stimulants such as caffeinated soft drinks, tobacco, and drugs. -adapted from Hales , An Invitation to Health: Choosing to Change , p. 420 The research report above on motor vehicle accidents among college-age men and women identifies two major causes, which are: A) educational programs and changes in state laws B) lowering the legal drinking age and raising the blood-alcohol level C) use of stimulants and raising the legal drinking age D) drunk driving and falling asleep at the wheel

Accepted Answer

The passage identifies drunk driving and falling asleep at the wheel as the two major causes of motor vehicle accidents among college-age men and women.

Question 2

Directions: Choose the best answer based on the information you read in Chapter 13.
Which of the following is a secondary source?
A) textbook
B) interview
C) experiment
D) survey

Accepted Answer

A textbook is considered a secondary source as it provides information gathered from primary sources by the author. Interviews, experiments, and surveys are examples of primary sources as they involve firsthand data collection.

Question 3

Directions: Apply the knowledge you have gained from Chapter 13 to answer the following questions.
Which is the correct in-text citation if a source has more than three authors?
A) Abbott, Brown, Corbin, and Deitz
B) Abbott and Brown, et al.
C) Abbott et al.
D) Deitz et al.

Accepted Answer

The correct in-text citation for a source with more than three authors is to use "et al." after the first author's name. In this case, option C is the correct answer as it uses "et al." to represent the other authors.

Question 4

Internet sources are more reliable that print sources because they are updated so often.

Accepted Answer

The frequency of updates does not inherently make internet sources more reliable; reliability depends on the credibility and accuracy of the information provided.

A) Read parts of the text aloud.

Question 6

If someone else conducts a survey, you can still report those results as a primary source in your paper.

Accepted Answer

A primary source is an original document or firsthand account. A survey conducted by someone else is a secondary source for you, as you are not the original creator of the data.

A) The study is not cited properly, so the reader will not be able to learn more. B) The reader can look up the study based on the information cited here.
