Question

review the fifth and sixth paragraphs.

5 even if it were a good idea to ban tobacco use, production, or sales, such a ban would be impossible to enforce. it might even backfire. consider the prohibition era in the united states, during which a constitutional amendment prohibited the sale of alcohol. the law had unintended negative consequences, such as crime and corruption. also, because alcohol was sold illegally, drinks were not regulated for health and safety, tainted alcohol accounted for an average of a thousand u.s. deaths for each year of prohibition. banning tobacco could have similar unintended consequences.

6 another difficulty with enforcement is that any ban on tobacco would have to include legal exemptions. for centuries, some native americans have used tobacco for ceremonial or spiritual purposes, and a tobacco ban could be

what do the fifth and sixth paragraphs do?

the two paragraphs both use the example of prohibition to demonstrate the difficulties of enforcing a tobacco ban.

the two paragraphs compare the feasibility of enforcing a ban on tobacco use with that of a ban on tobacco sales.

one paragraph hooks the reader with a startling fact, and the other paragraph uses this fact to introduce the main claim.

one paragraph tells an anecdote, and the other paragraph connects this story to an earlier supporting claim.

Explanation:

The fifth paragraph uses Prohibition (alcohol ban) as an example to show unintended negative consequences and enforcement issues (crime, corruption, unregulated drinks causing deaths). It implies similar issues for a tobacco ban. The sixth paragraph adds another enforcement difficulty (Native American ceremonial/spiritual tobacco use exemption needed). Both focus on enforcement difficulties of a tobacco ban using examples (Prohibition and exemption need). The first option is correct as it aligns with this. The second option is wrong as there's no comparison of tobacco use vs sales ban feasibility. The third option is wrong - no "startling fact" hook. The fourth option is wrong - no anecdote in sixth paragraph (it's a new enforcement - related point, not connecting a story to an earlier claim).

Answer:

The two paragraphs both use the example of Prohibition to demonstrate the difficulties of enforcing a tobacco ban.
