5. Which of the following quotes describes the key evidence used by the author to shape their text?
A "The presence of peers makes adolescents and youth, but not adults,
more likely to take risks," Steinberg and Gardner concluded." (
Paragraph 3)
B "What our study suggests is that teenagers learn more quickly and
more effectively when their peers are present than when they're on
their own, Steinberg says." (Paragraph 8)
Oc "He points to a classic 2004 study in which psychologists at
Dartmouth College and Harvard University used functional MRI to
track brain activity" (Paragraph 9)
D "History and English could be presented through the lens of the
psychological drives of the people involved." ( Paragraph 12)

C or B

Explanation: The answer might be C because that is the only answer that states the evidence, whilst the others  just state the opinions. If the question asks to literally describe the evidence/explain it it would be B.

I hope this helps!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
