In this section, you’ll demonstrate your proficiency in the concepts of rhetorical analysis, research, and the correct use of MLA style. You’ll compose a persuasive essay that contains
a paraphrase, a short citation, and a hanging quotation, each of which is properly formatted and cited in MLA style. You also must include, in a Works Cited list at the end of your essay, a citation from an Internet source, a book, a chapter from a book, and a magazine.
This section of your exam may be typed. Compose a persuasive essay of 750–1,000 words based on one of the following topics:
1. “More than 5,000 teens die each year in car crashes in the United States. The rate of crashes, fatal and nonfatal, per mile driven, for 16-year-old drivers is almost 10 times the rate for drivers ages 30 to 59, according to the National Highway Safety Administration. Many industrialized countries in Europe and elsewhere have a driving age of 17 or 18” (Bowles). Based on this quote, research this topic and persuade the reader, whether you agree or not, that it’s in the best interest of the country to raise the national driving age to 18 years.
