Question 17 2 pts In the following example, there is an opening statement followed by two responsive statements. For each responsive statement, state whether Responsive Statement 1 or Responsive Statement 2 most closely addresses and responds to the issue and claim addressed in the Opening Statement or if both or neither address the issue and claim. Which of the following responsive statements best addresses and responds to the issue and claim in the Opening Statement? Either? Both? Or neither? Open Statement: MLDA 21 is largely ineffective because the majority of teens continue to consume alcohol. According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, underage drinking accounts for 17.5% ($22.5 billion) of consumer spending on alcohol in the United States. In 2006, 72.2% of twelfth graders reported drinking alcohol at some point in their lives. Responsive Statement 1: MLDA 21 reduces traffic accidents and fatalities. 100 of the 102 analyses (98%) in a 2002 meta-study of the legal drinking age and traffic accidents found higher legal drinking ages associated with lower rates of traffic accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimated that MLDA 21 decreased the number of fatal traffic accidents for 18- to 20-year-olds by 13% and saved approximately 27,052 lives from 1975-2008. Responsive Statement 2: MLDA 21 exerts valuable social pressure on potential underage drinkers and those who may serve them. Youth may choose not to drink, or to drink less often, because of decreased social acceptability or increased risks from parental or legal authorities. Older youth and adults may furnish alcoholic beverages to minors less frequently, and licensed alcohol outlets may sell to minors less frequently, because of their perceptions that it is illegal, morally wrong, or because they might be caught
