STAAR English

Read:

Selecting the right kind of car for a newly licensed teen is an important responsibility. One parent might say, “Let’s buy an old junker so that when the first wreck happens, it won’t cost us as much.” Another parent (the parent of a teen’s dreams) might say, “Let’s get a car that you will like to show off and use to drive around with your friends.” But the wisest parent will choose a newer, reliable model with the best safety equipment that the family can afford. That kind of choice will be worth every penny in the case of an accident.

The author uses an aside in the paragraph to----

• Criticize some types of parents

• Inject humor into the paragraph
