Studies have found that flying is about 29 times safer than driving. Still, many people have a fear of flying, even if they know how safe it is. A fear of flying often stems from feeling out of control. Unless a person is a pilot, he or she really has no control over the plane's movement. Also, planes make many odd sounds, and rides can be very bumpy. Usually, the best way to combat a fear of flying is with education. Knowing the physical laws that make flight possible, knowing what all the sounds a plane makes mean, and knowing how bumps affect flight can all help to lessen the fears people have of flying. Because flying is the fastest way and one of the safest ways to travel, a person should not let the fear of flying get into his or her way.

Which of these best summarizes the passage?

A.
Fear of flying is caused by many things, including lack of knowledge about planes and flying.
B.
Despite its safety, flying scares people for several reasons but can be treated by education.
C.
To get past a fear of flying, the best help is education about planes and flight.
D.
Even though flying is 29 times safer than driving, many people are scared of flying.

" keyn asked. tablin looked around the dirt courtyard. he tried to peer through the shadowy arches of the flowing barrel. he even twisted in his saddle to look across the merchant's bazaar, past tents and warehouses filled with goods. "i don't know," he said. "did you leave it in your mouth? it's the only place i can think of that's big enough." keyn laughed; something got stuck in his throat half way, and he coughed for breath. "i can see you're good to go,” tablin observed as keyn struggled to clear his throat. “go get your horse yourself before i take the job and leave you to rot in the flowing barrel."
