In this case, the option that provides the best opportunity would be the Parks and Recreation Center. This is because they typically offer a variety of team sports activities for individuals of all ages.
2. Abner wants to improve his running time and sets a goal to run a 6-minute mile. To explain Abner's motivation, you need to understand his desire. In this case, the best explanation is the desire to improve his skill. This motivation suggests that Abner wants to enhance his running ability and achieve his goal of running a 6-minute mile.
3. John is faced with a situation where his friends want to sneak into a movie without paying. To handle this situation, it's important to consider ethical considerations and personal values. The best approach for John would be to let his friends know he thinks it's wrong to sneak in and call his dad for a ride home. This option demonstrates John's integrity and respects his own values.
4. Positive peer pressure encourages individuals to engage in activities that are beneficial. Analyzing the options, it can be concluded that Lila asking her friend to join the tutoring club at school is an example of positive peer pressure.
