Read the passage. school spirit seems to be a thing of the past. only about 100 students attended the last pep rally for our sports teams. attendance at school events in general is down 22 percent from last year. perhaps worst of all, the number of after-school clubs has dropped from an even dozen to 6 because of lack of student participation. which strategy does the writer use to elaborate on the main argument?

Which is the best paraphrase of the text? the capability of a bicycle makes some people want to go very fast and others to go very slow. as long as you are careful, feel free to ride like the wind. when feeling brave on a bicycle you should ride fast, but when feeling afraid riding slow is wise. if you are unable to coast, it is pointless to even ride. if you’re going to ride a bicycle, you should throw caution to the wind and take over the road, swerving where you like and taking full advantage of your ride. it’s a real joy to be able to ride a bicycle, where you have the choice of going as fast or as slow as you like, using as much courage as you feel like using.
