B. Read the following paragraph. Then fill in the concept map by giving the main idea and the three major supporting details. Testing for Soberness

¹Testing a person for soberness is not a foolproof process and can have unfair results. ²First, the breath analyzer, also known as a breathalyzer, may not be accurate. ³Because the device measures alcohol in the mouth, the measurement may not be a sign of the true state of drunkenness. ⁴The person being tested may have breathed into the device improperly, and medicine or mouthwash could have skewed the readings. ⁵Next, agility tests are not objective. ⁶These tests attempt to see if alcohol or drugs have hurt a person's coordination and balance. ⁷Yet the outcome can be based on the bias of the person giving the test. 8Therefore, unclear directions or prejudice can cause false test results.⁹Finally, problems with these tests have harmed innocent drivers. ¹⁰Many have lost their right to drive.¹¹The loss of this right has cost them the ability to earn a living wage.
