Question:

In the section, “A Nationwide Problem,” the author includes Susan Popkin’s quotation about stigmas to support the claim that ___.

A. the economy has improved

B. many schools provide free breakfast

C. fewer resources exist for older teens

D. food-insecure teens are reluctant to accept help

The correct answer is D)

Explanation:

The Author of "A National Problem" posits that one has to take a different approach if they must help teens with food.  

Why?

According to Popkins, who is referenced in the article, there is a social stigma associated with having to "stand out" to receive "handouts".  So teens would rather starve than publicly accept food donations.

Because teens are still developing psychologically, this kind of stigmas can often end up with a bigger problem than the one that is being solved.

Also, because teens are unwilling to come forward openly to accept food aid, they go through other problems such as poor academic performance which stems from the inability to concentrate at school because of malnutrition or starvation.    

Cheers!

oooh~ i love the salem witch trials.

the answer is b) ''i hereby express my profound remorse together with my sincere mourning ''.

the reason being that although all of the options provided are valid the main idea of the speech by prime minister junichiro koizumi is to express his and japan's current antiwar pledge.

he states that 59 years had passed since the war, he acknowledges the 3 million japanese that lost their lives during the war and those countries who were affected by their decisions, as well as the way japan intends to develop relationships across the globe however all of this can be summarize to how japan as a whole regrets the war and its consecuences.

hope this ! i found the article on let me know if i'm using the wrong one.
