The correct answer C. Peers are influencing how James thinks about what is normal behavior.

Explanation:

Peers such as classmates, co-workers or people of the same age, profession, etc. can influence our behaviors, actions or beliefs; this phenomenon is known as peer pressure. In the case described, peer pressure occurs because James' friends tell him every student at school drinks, which causes James to think this is true, and therefore drinking is a normal behavior in most students. This implies, in this situation "Peers are influencing how James thinks about what is normal behavior". Moreover, this biased idea of normal behavior might cause that in the future James wants to drink alcohol just because he thinks everybody does this.

What is the collective effort to keep our community clean?​
atroni [7]

As the global population increases rapidly, societies around the world need to come up with more efficient solutions to controlling waste. Excess litter and refuse pose a serious threat to the environment. Illegal dumping and littering are two of the major contributors to pollution in our rivers, oceans, public spaces and countryside. Keeping our environment clean is a collective responsibility that we all share.

Every citizen has a role to play in protecting the environment from pollution. We need to eradicate litter and avoid irresponsible waste disposal practices immediately. There is no excuse for plastic waste in the environment – it should always be recycled and thrown away in a responsible manner. Make a point of finding out more about what can and can’t be recycled, and start separating at home. Plastic is a valuable resource that is too important to simply dump and never use again.

We need to reduce, reuse and recycle our waste wherever possible. This will keep litter out of the environment. The South African Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries is concerned about the amount of pollution in our rivers, dams and oceans. Every South African needs to take responsibility for their waste and disposal habits.
