Please read the following excerpt from an essay. The sentences are numbered to help you respond to the question that follows. (1

) After Sean was arrested for breaking into a pawnshop, I began to wonder. (2) Why did some kids from my neighborhood end up in trouble while most of us didn't? (3) I started out with a question: What causes young people to make bad choices? (4) Now, after two years of research, I've arrived at the conclusion that there is no simple answer. (5) There is no one reason why good kids go bad, but there are typical reasons. (6) According to my research, teenagers are most likely to get into trouble if they hang out with a bad crowd. (7) That's because people learn their values from the people they associate with. (8) So a very big reason for bad behavior is imitating one's peers. (9) But there are other important factors as well. (10) Kids who get in trouble are often school dropouts. (11) Also, kids being raised by a single mother are more likely to get in trouble than kids raised in an intact family. (12) Substance abuse also plays a role, especially when it comes to alcohol and legal or illegal drugs. In which sentence or sentences do you find the thesis statement in this excerpt? A. 2 B. 5 C. 3 D. 4 and 5

Which of these best describes Renaissance?
bixtya [17]
From background information, I remember that the Renaissance was more than 300 years ago, which means I can get rid of answers B and D, leaving us with A and C. 

From there, we have to go with actual information. The Renaissance began in Italy in the late 1300s, which is around late 14th century. This means that our answer is most likely A!<span />

Choose the correct meaning for the word inflammable.
Travka [436]
Inflammable means intensely flammable, or intensely able to be burned. This is confusing, because the prefix in- would usually indicate NOT, but it comes from the latin verb inflammare, which means “to catch fire.”
