Read the excerpt from "Children of the Drug Wars.” By sending these children away, "you are handing them a death sentence,” says José Arnulfo Ochoa Ochoa, an expert in Honduras with World Vision International, a Christian humanitarian aid group. This abrogates international conventions we have signed and undermines our credibility as a humane country. It would be a disgrace if this wealthy nation turned its back on the 52,000 children who have arrived since October, many of them legitimate refugees.

The underlined words and phrases have strong negative connotations. How do they support the author’s purpose?

They draw attention to the opinion that the United States is not doing enough to help these children.
They show that there is a desperate need for all countries to be willing to help refugees.
They show that the United States has participated in international conventions on how to handle the refugee crisis.
They make it clear that the United States will lose the respect of other nations if it does not help these children

Why it's time to lay the stereotype of the 'teen brain’ to rest 2. part b: which detail from the text best supports the answer to part a? a “brain deficits don’t make teens do risky things; lack of experience and a drive to explore the world are the real factors.” (paragraph 1) b “according to this theory, the prefrontal cortex, the center of the brain’s cognitive-control system, matures more slowly than the limbic system, which governs desires and appetites including drives for food and sex.” (paragraph 5) c “in experiments that mimic the well-known marshmallow test, in which waiting for a bigger reward is a sign of self-control, adolescents are less impulsive than children and only slightly more so than adults.” (paragraph 12) d “the majority of adolescents do not die in car crashes, become victims of homicide or suicide, experience major depression, become addicted to drugs or contract sexually transmitted infections.” (paragraph 14)
