Question

1. an author writes an essay about texting while driving. which factor would most affect the authors point of view? the author owns a cell phone and drives a sports car. the authors son was injured in a car accident while texting. the author has young children and is protective of them. the author lives in a very busy city with lots of traffic.

Explanation:

Personal experiences strongly influence an author's perspective. If the author's son was injured in a car accident while texting, this direct, emotional, and relevant personal experience would likely shape the author's view on texting while driving more than the other factors. Owning a cell phone and sports car (first option) is a general possession. Having young children (third option) is a more indirect connection. Living in a busy city (fourth option) is about the environment, not a direct experience related to texting while driving.

Answer:

The author’s son was injured in a car accident while texting.
