Multiple Choice

Which commentary is the best to follow this claim and evidence?

Love can be dangerous. In the U.S. alone we have over 46,000 divorces every week.

• This shows that some people are just selfish in relationships. If everyone did more to help the relationship and cared more about their partner, there would be a lot fewer failed marriages.

• It is a sad fact, but it does create an opportunity for anyone choosing a career. If you study the law and become a divorce attorney, there will always be work for you.

• While some of those divorces end on friendly terms, many, if not most, leave at least one, if not both people hurting. Divorce can also be very hard on the children.
