Paul Thompsn describes a massive loss of brain cells and therefore brain conections in those areas that are related to impulses and to self control as an event that occurs in all teenagers, and considers this loss to be the cause of many teenagers' reckless behavior and mental confusion. While Dr. Thompson does not consider this scientific finding a justification for violent actions like the shooting of a teacher by Brazill, he does prove that an adolescent's brain is not the same as an adult's and therefore the trial of Nathaniel Brazill should not be based on the same criteria as if he had planned his actions with an adult's mind and deliberation. Dr. Thompson's description resulted in his being sentenced for second-degree murder, rathen tthan for first-degree murder as he would have been, had he been an adult.

Scientific discoveries have made life easier but insecure justify the statement ​
aliina [53]

Scientific discoveries allow several problems that threatened and even hindered our lives to be solved. This can be seen by the development of disease treatment, better forms of mobility, better forms of communication, greater access to entertainment, among other technologies that we can say that make our lives easy, increase our quality of life and allow maintenance of our life is more efficient.

However, scientific advancement promotes the strong exploitation of natural resources, which causes degradation of those resources that are essential for our existence. With degeneration increasingly efficient, we do not know what our lives will be like in the future, but we know it will be insecure because we cannot fight against the force of environmental imbalance.

horrorfan [7]

Answer: The three correct options are:

1.Ariana got lost on the way to the festival; she ended up twenty miles from where we planned to meet.

3.Ariana got lost on the way to the festival, and she ended up twenty miles from where we planned to meet

4.Ariana got lost on the way to the festival. She ended up twenty miles from where we planned to meet.

Explanation: 1. Use a semicolon between two closely related independent clauses. 3. Use a comma before a coordinating conjunction such as <em>and, but, or, & yet. </em>4. Separate the two clauses into two sentences. Use a period at the end of the first sentence. Start the new sentence with a capital letter.

2. Is incorrect. It is an example of a "comma splice" where a comma is used instead of the other correct options.
