PART B: Which of the following quotes best supports the answer to Part A?

PART A: What does the word “entice” mean as used in paragraph 1?

PART B: Which of the following phrases from paragraph 1 best supports the answer to Part A?

Analyze the claim the author makes about distracted teenage behaviors and evaluate whether the evidence used to support this claim is sufficient.

Evaluate the author’s claim that teenagers are more prone to impulsive behavior because they are more likely to be distracted by potential rewards. ● ● ● ● The author points to Roper’s study as evidence of how teens are more distracted by rewards than adults “even after the actual payoff is long gone” (Paragraph 2). During the study: Unlike the adults, the teens’ reaction times did not speed up and “[t]hey took longer to respond whenever a red or green circle showed up” (Paragraph 10). The author then quotes Brian Anderson, who said that this study shows teenagers are drawn to “rewarding information” which “may help explain why teens engage in risky behavior” (Paragraph 12). It should be noted, however, that Anderson “was not involved with the study” (Paragraph 12). A quote from someone involved in the study, such as Roper himself, would strengthen the author’s argument. The Conclusion that “[c]learly, the red and green circles were distracting teens from their objective” is subjective and lacks concise evidence from the study to reach this conclusion. Because the results of the study are not completely definitive(done), and because the author only cites one study, the author’s original claim about impulsive teenage behavior is not as strong as it could be.
