Ice-cream is a delicious frozen treat that comes in a many different colors and flavors.  Two of my favorite flavors are strawberry and chocolate.  Though both of these flavors are delicious, strawberry may contain pieces of fruit while chocolate usually will not.  Even though more chocolate ice-cream is sold across the country annually than strawberry, each flavor tastes great inside of a milk shake.

A student is writing an argumentative essay for class about curfews. She wants to revise the draft to improve the relationship between paragraphs two and three. Read the draft of the essay and complete the task that follows.

Parents and city council members argue that putting a curfew in place will help keep kids safe at night. With an 8 p.m. curfew, kids will be safely inside when it is dark. This will help reduce traffic accidents. It will also reduce the chance that kids will encounter strangers on the street.

Kids can encounter strangers when they are walking home from school or playing outside during the day. Instead of a curfew, kids argue that parents should let kids stay outside but require them to be with a larger group of kids. Larger groups are easier to see, which will help prevent traffic accidents. It will also discourage strangers from approaching kids.

Choose the transition sentence that would best improve the link between the two paragraphs.

• There are a lot of dangerous situations that kids face during the day.

• Even though kids are safer being inside when it's dark, they are not safe during the day.

• However, traffic accidents and strangers are not dangers that kids only encounter at night.

• Instead of considering safety at night, parents and city council members should consider safety during the day.
