O A. Yes, saying "no" typically works well in every social situation involving alcohol.
O B. Yes, he does not know these people well, so they are likely not invested in his response O C. No, the toughest pressure generally comes from people that you do not know very well.
O D.
No, if people are drinking they will want everyone else to participate in that behavior.
C. No, the toughest pressure generally comes from people that you do not know very well.
In this situation, saying "no" may not be as effective because the pressure to conform to the behavior of others, especially in a social setting, can be challenging. The pressure to drink alcohol may be intensified when surrounded by unfamiliar individuals, as there might be a desire to fit in or be accepted by the group. Additionally, not knowing the people well can add an extra layer of uncertainty about how they might react or judge Dorian's response. Therefore, it is more likely that the toughest pressure to engage in drinking would come from people that Dorian does not know very well.

Technology can influence public health. For example, today's cars have features like rear view cameras and censors that make them much safer.
However, studies have shown that those with fewer resources are not seeing these advances. Which BEST explains why this is the case?
• A. Those with fewer resources are the most resistant to change:
O B. Those in lower social classes drive older cars without these technologies.
O c.
These features make people more aggressive drivers since they feel safer.
• D.
These additions give the illusion of more safety, but they are really just gimmicks.
B. Those in lower social classes drive older cars without these technologies.
The most likely explanation for fewer people with fewer resources not benefiting from technological advances in car safety features is that those in lower social classes often drive older vehicles that lack these technologies. As technological advancements are incorporated into newer car models, they may come at a higher cost, making them less affordable for individuals with limited financial resources. Additionally, individuals in lower social classes may be more likely to purchase used or older vehicles, which are less likely to have the latest safety features. Therefore, the disparity in access to newer vehicles with advanced safety technologies contributes to the unequal distribution of these advances among different socioeconomic groups.
