The five paragraphs that follow lack sufficient supporting details. In each paragraph, identify the spot or spots where more specific details are needed.
A Car Accident
1 I was on my way home from work when my terrible car accident took place. 2 As I drove my car around the curve of the expressway exit, I saw a number of cars ahead of me. 3 They were backed up because of a red light at the main road. 4 I slowly came to a stop behind a dozen or more cars. 5 In my rearview mirror, I then noticed a car coming up behind me that did not slow down or stop. 6 I had a horrible, helpless feeling as I realized the car would hit me. 7 I knew there was nothing I could do to signal the driver in time, nor was there any way I could get away from the car. 8 Minutes after the collision, I picked up my glasses, which were on the seat beside me. 9 My lip was bleeding, and I got out a tissue to wipe it. 10 The police arrived quickly, along with an ambulance for the driver of the car that hit me. 11 My car was so damaged that it had to be towed away. 12 Today, eight years after the accident, I still relive the details of the experience whenever a car gets too close behind me.
