Dear mayor thomson, as you know, our town just passed a new law. kids can no longer ride skateboards on our town’s streets and sidewalks. this is unfair. our town does not have a skate park, and not everyone has a driveway. this means that some of us can’t ride skateboards at all. you spoke about this new law last week at a town meeting. you said that riding skateboards on streets is dangerous. you are worried that kids will be hit by cars. however, we have many small, side streets in our town. cars rarely drive on these streets. it is safe to ride a skateboard on a side street in our town. you said that people walking on sidewalks are afraid of skateboarders. they think that skateboarders might crash into them. this is not true. my friends and i have never crashed into someone walking on a sidewalk. we slow down when we see people. we smile and say hello. you also said that kids riding skateboards make too much noise. you believe that the people of our town want peace and quiet and do not want to hear us clang our skateboards on curbs. but children are rarely ever quiet when they play. kids playing in yards make noise. people driving cars honk their horns. skateboarders are not the only people who make noise. you also said that riding a skateboard is dangerous and kids could fall and be seriously hurt. i wear a helmet in case i bump my head. i also wear knee and elbow pads. my friends do this, too. this will keep us from being seriously hurt if we fall. sincerely, reginald carter based on the letter's style and tone, which choice is the best closing?
a) we demand this law be changed. it is unfair and makes us all feel like criminals. you need to try skateboarding yourself.
b) this law is ridiculous and you are crazy for allowing it to pass. we have lost a great deal of respect for you because of this poor decision.
c) we promise to be really nice to adults if you change the law. we will wash your car every week and we will do our best in school. we are begging you.
d) change this law, mayor thomson. it is unfair to the children in our town. many of us ride skateboards to get from place to place. we also ride them for fun. we are not hurting anyone and we are careful.
