When people accused of wrongdoing say, “I take the Fifth,” what does that mean?

I pled the fifth

Explanation:

It refers to the 5th amendment

I've heard this phrased as "I plead the fifth" but it typically means that they are invoking the 5th amendment. Whether in jest or an actual legal situation, by saying this they invoke their right to not incriminate themselves.

As the 5th amendment means that someone can't be punished without evidence. Whatever you say may be considered evidence.

Does that help?

Explanation:

so the story tells of someone named kaushik choudhuri, but he does not narrate the story, a girl named hema does. hema tells the story in a second person point of view because you (the reader) are supposed to be the boy named kaushik.

here's an excerpt i found: "i was ushered into the fitting room, your mother watching approvingly as i took off my coat and sweater and tried on the bra."

biological/genetic factors means they were born or predisposed to have something. nothing can really change it, and you can't really do much to "fix" it. it isn't something learned

these are the biological factors:

adrian is relatively tall and he is on the basketball team

(adrian can't ever stop being tall or force himself to be tall. likely one or both of his parents are tall as well and they passed on the tall gene. he probably does basketball because he is tall)

the rest are environmental/cultural factors. these are things that are taught to us. for example, cynthia wasn't born saving pocket money, her family most likely taught her this (environmental factor)

hope this !
