The article "Young at Risk" purposes that the young of humans and animals are more vulnerable to chemical pollutant exposure due to all of the following reasons except that:
A. their brains are less sensitive than those of mature humans and animals.
B. the young et and breathe more for their body weights than adults, so they get bigger proportional doses of extrnal pollutants.
C. accumulated dioxin slows action to the immune systems.
D. they will be getting about 50 times the exposure of an adult during critical development stages.
And you think ... ?
I agree.
To determine the correct answer to this question, we would need to analyze each option individually.
A. The article suggests that young individuals are more vulnerable to chemical pollutant exposure, so this option is a possible reason why.
B. This option states that young individuals consume and breathe more in relation to their body weight compared to adults, which leads to proportionally higher doses of external pollutants. This aligns with the idea that they are more vulnerable.
C. The option states that accumulated dioxin slows down the immune systems, which could contribute to their vulnerability to chemical pollutant exposure.
D. The option suggests that the young will receive approximately 50 times the exposure of an adult during critical development stages. This aligns with the argument that they are more vulnerable.
Considering all the options, the answer to the question is A. The article does not propose that the young have less sensitive brains compared to mature individuals. This implies that all the other options are reasons mentioned in the article why the young are more vulnerable to chemical pollutant exposure.
