Answer:

Rewiring, sort of an ¨upgrade¨ or maturing.

They are adaptive to prepare for their next phase of evolution, the consideration of leaving home.

Explanation:

According to the researcher David Dobbs, the purpose of the massive changes that are undergone by teenage brains is with the purpose of maturing the brain within itself to face possible upcoming changes.

The process of being ¨adaptive¨ is called as such due to the fact that during this period of time, the teenage brain undergoes a ¨rewiring¨ in order to prepare for a time when the individual must face changes such as leaving the comfort zone of home and face more daring challenges like coping with daily decisions and tasks outside in the world, as well as socializing with others.

At what points in Bram Stoker's "Dracula" are the weaknesses/fragility of the human mind and soul explored within the characters
Alecsey [184]

This stoker's novel shows how fragile human existence was, and weakened the beliefs of free will and immortal soul. Stoker relied on medical sciences as a physiology and used much of the novel in his characters, brain actions that cast doubt on such beliefs as trance and somnambulism, dramatizing a very common fear at the time of the novel, the Victorian era. It was well portrayed the fear that at that time humans were soulless animals and followed only their physiological and cerebral instincts. The soul and the mind were in conflict. It was the religious faith of the time against the effects considered "paranormal", portrayed in the novel.

Answer:

C. The author is impressed by her friend.

Explanation:

According to the given passage, the author details how busy her friend Sadia is. Not only is she active in sports, but she also ills her spare time<em> "tak[ing] classes at the community college." </em>

While clearly impressed by the friend, the author couldn't help but add some facts of her own, just to emphasize the busy schedule of Sadia. She added that she thinks<em> "she composes symphonies on the weekends and probably dabbles in particle physics too"</em>, though most probably <em>"for laughs"</em>. This phrase shows that this opinion is nothing but her own.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
