Read the passage and answer the question that follows: A Formal Night Out I don't often to go events that require formal attire. Jeans are much more comfortable. But tonight my dad and I are in suits, and my mom is in her best dress. We are near the High Museum to listen to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Another great activity is visiting an art museum. I usually spend Friday nights with my friends at the school football game. But for a couple of Friday nights each year, somehow, this concert hall is just as much fun. The audience is so proper that they almost appear snobbish. Like they'd turn their noses up at a football game, you get what I'm saying? But soon the grand array of musicians on the stage fills the hall with magnificent sound. Then the audience becomes the warmest, most inspired group of people you can imagine.

Read the passage and answer the question that follows: License to Drive There is no reason why a person who is fifteen years old should not be allowed to get a driver's license. There is nothing magic about the number of years in a person's age. Teenagers can learn from having to maintain a vehicle. The real issue when considering whether teens should drive or not is their level of responsibility. Driving a car puts you in a position of great opportunity and risk. Driving too fast, or recklessly, is dangerous. You can endanger your own life. You can also endanger the lives of everyone else on the road. Listening to the radio or texting friends has caused many accidents on the road. But responsible drivers have the wide-open road in front of them and endless opportunities. For a teenager who has already proven to be a responsible person, the ability to drive provides many benefits. For one, it encourages further development of responsibility. By rewarding a responsive teen with the freedom of driving, society teaches the teen that responsible behavior pays off in the long run. The parents of the teen will also benefit by not having to drive their teen around to work, school and extracurricular activities. In contrast, a responsible teen who were denied the right to drive may think, "What's the point of trying to be responsible?" This lesson can carry over into school, work and personal life. If teenagers feel like their parents do not trust them, they may begin to doubt themselves. Some people question whether fifteen-year-olds are old enough to drive. My answer is that some are. Some are not. The question is not the numerical age of the person, but how mature they are. If mature and responsible teens are given the opportunity to drive, them everyone benefits. Those who are not responsible should not be aloud to operate a vehicle. But don't punish everyone just because of a few bad apples. What is the main claim of this essay?
