Some of the most convincing evidence that helps to explain the observed increase in the incidence of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa over the past half century is
a. improved diagnostic and reporting practices.
b. concurrent increases in the rate of depression.
c. the generally improved health of the society and an increased emphasis on diet and exercise.
d. a strong relationship between exposure to media images depicting the thin-ideal body and body image concerns in women.

Yeah, the answer is definitely b.assuming that you're a high school student or middle school student, you probably don't need your parents' to pick out your clothes anymore. and i don't know how it works at other schools, but i know that at my high school, you don't get to pick the book you read for an english assignment. your teacher picks that. the decision of what after-school job i should get, i would definitely make with from my parents and other people that i trust. ultimately, the decision is up to me, but i would need advice from people who are more experienced.
