Hurry And here's your shmoop douceur brought to you by

00:05

the national transportation safety board They strongly urge you not

00:10

to raid the entire name of their organization While dr

00:14

All right check out this passage Improve You filled him

00:16

onboard Video she's right All right Which choice most effectively

00:26

establishes the primary topic of paragraph want And here the

00:30

potential and all right we've got a big long passage

00:35

on our hands but for now we're only concerned with

00:38

the first paragraph Good because we want nothing to do

00:40

with second paragraph is we all know second place is

00:43

just a first loser All right can you tell we

00:45

were pushed Is a child anyway Let's re read the

00:49

opener one more time and see if we can boil

00:51

it down to its essence video systems can help monitor

00:54

passenger behaviour in this wade negative actions such as bullying

00:57

or theft Yeah we went ahead and fix that Monitor

01:00

traffic surrounding the vehicle and assist in recording the observance

01:03

of traffic laws into enhanced driver safety through feedback programs

01:07

that correct potentially unsafe behaviors The national transportation safety board

01:11

has also used on board video system's in its accident

01:14

investigation There we go All right So kitch right off

01:17

with the mention of onboard video systems and then launches

01:20

into all the nifty stuff it khun d'oh it's courage

01:22

bad behavior monitor traffic and hand safety and ate an

01:25

accident Investigations sounds groovy but it's a bit all over

01:29

the place How can we nail down a single primary

01:32

topic like the question asked Well the easiest way is

01:35

probably just to take the answer choices one by one

01:38

so let's get her done Is it a video System's

01:41

in vehicles are mostly used for recording the driver's adherence

01:45

to safety laws Well safety laws are mentioned but it's

01:48

just one of the benefits nowhere in the paragraph doesn't

01:52

give special credit or the word Mostly though safety is

01:56

great and all but often seems to be pushing some

01:59

sort of agenda back off the line buddy What about

02:02

c video systems for commercial vehicles were first introduced in

02:06

the late nineties If that was the primary topic you'd

02:09

think the word nineteen nineties would appear in there somewhere

02:12

as it is there are no numbers or dates mentioned

02:14

at all you know because we get a little dance

02:16

in joy when we realized there was no math ball

02:19

we're taking cm thick be Although video systems and commercial

02:23

vehicles can make the vehicle's safer they mostly distract drivers

02:28

Why so serious Option d is putting a negative spin

02:30

on the video systems but his first paragraph is one

02:33

hundred percent happy dappy it's about all the great stuff

02:37

video systems Can do and doesn't focus one iota on

02:40

any potential drawbacks but we're just gonna hum a happy

02:43

tune and pretend we never even saw this answer Choice

02:46

a lot Which leaves answer b commercial vehicles such a

02:51

school buses and motor coaches are equipped with on board

02:54

video systems for a variety of reasons gets that pretty

02:57

much covers it without singling out any one thing or

03:00

placing judgment on the video system This option goes uber

03:04

vague and says and there's a lot of stuff they

03:06

can do You should probably stop humming that Happy to

03:08

now la la la you're starting to annoy the birds 00:03:11.298 --> [endTime] with your posse
