Answer:

D. effective, because it includes facts from a credible source.

Explanation:

The author uses facts from the CDC. The CDC is considered a credible source because it is a government organization that bases it's decisions on scientific research. Option C is incorrect because we don't know if it is addressing a counterclaim. there isn't enough information in this excerpt for us to know.

"We want people to go on improving their driving skills throughout their driving careers," said David Ashworth, a junior minister at the Department for Transport. "This is about creating the right sort of education and incentivising people to do it."

Explanation:

<u>Inverted commas are also known as quotation marks. Their purpose is to indicate which words or sentences inside that structure were spoken by someone. We place a pair of inverted commas at the beginning of that person's speech, and another one at the ending.
