Answer:
○ The speed limit should be lowered for safety reasons.
Step-by-step explanation:
• The last option is the correct one, because it uses the appropriate voice and formality for a newspaper article.
• The first option is incorrect, because the word 'gotta', which is an informal abbreviation of 'got to', exudes informality, and is therefore inappropriate for a newspaper piece.
• The second option is incorrect because it sounds more like an angry complain than a thoughtful opinion.
• The last option is also incorrect because the word 'totes' in an informal abbreviation of the word 'totally', and is therefore not appropriate for a newspaper article.
