1 Jamal just recently disclosed to his friend that he's . Most likely he's a/an -years-old.
A 14
B 16
C 18
D 20
i believe the correct answer is C
2 One of the main reasons girls have more difficulty than boys transitioning from elementary to high school is that they experience
A higher social needs
B earlier onset of puberty
C slower maturation
D an adolescent growth spurt
i believe the correct answer is B
The second one is correct. I am not sure about the first one though.
1. Although I am not absolutely sure, the hormonal changes of puberty would be likely to lead me to choose A.
2. I would agree.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
To answer the first question about Jamal's age, we need to consider the age range when individuals typically disclose their sexual orientation to someone else. Coming out or disclosing one's sexual orientation is a highly personal and individual decision, so there isn't an exact age that applies to everyone. However, based on societal norms and research, individuals may be more likely to disclose their sexual orientation during their late teenage years or early adulthood.
Given that the options for Jamal's age are 14, 16, 18, and 20, we can eliminate options A and D as they are too young or too old. We are left with options B (16) and C (18). It is more plausible and statistically likely that someone in their late teenage years (option C) would disclose their sexual orientation to a friend. Therefore, option C (18) is the most likely correct answer in this case.
For the second question about the difficulty girls face in transitioning from elementary to high school, we are looking for the main reason behind this difficulty.
Option A suggests that girls have higher social needs, but this is not specific enough to explain the difficulty in transitioning. Option C suggests that girls experience slower maturation, but again, this is not the main reason for the difficulty.
Option D states that girls experience an adolescent growth spurt. While this growth spurt can happen during puberty, it is not the sole reason for the difficulty in transitioning.
Option B indicates that girls experience an earlier onset of puberty. This is the most likely correct answer as it is a known fact that girls generally enter puberty earlier than boys. This earlier onset of puberty can bring about physical and emotional changes that might contribute to the difficulties they face when transitioning from elementary to high school.
Therefore, option B (earlier onset of puberty) is the most likely correct answer in this case.
