Quinn witnesses drug dealing and other gang-related criminal activities in his neighborhood. what is the best way for him to avoid becoming a participant? a. skip school to avoid gang members. b. ask for a ride home if he feels threatened by a gang member. c. wear gang colors to blend in with members in the community. d. listen to music and ignore gang-related crimes when walking to school.

I, personally, would think that D. would be the best option.  Quinn should just ignore everything about those gang members, and just focus on going to school.  I do also think that if Quinn does get a little worried, he could ask for a ride home (B.) until he gets the hang of just ignoring the gang members.

B. Ask for a ride home if he feels threatened by a gang member.

Explanation:

If Quinn feels threatened and scared of gang activity in her, he can hitch a ride home after school, or afterwards. So, in addition to getting home faster than walking, he will be in the company of a person he trusts who will leave him at home protected from any danger.

Skipping school will not help Quinn avoid gangs and prevent him from receiving quality education. Using group colors will not make them blend in with community members, but will make them stand out even more. Listening to music and ignoring gang-related crimes while walking to school won't protect you either
