Answer:

c. plasticity

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by various psychologists, I can say that based on the information provided within the question it is most likely plasticity that played a primary role in Jerry's improved academic performance. This is because this term refers to the ability for nerve cells to change through new experiences. Which is why Jerry's grades started to improve when he was taken in by his grandparents and his home life improved.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

There is sufficient food for 50 children for 12 days in a boy's home. If there is an increas
Hunter-Best [27]

Let the food in the boy's home be : F

Given : This food is sufficient for 50 children for 12 days

\implies \sf{\textsf{The food consumed by 50 children in one day} : \dfrac{F}{12}}

\implies \sf{\textsf{The food consumed by 1 child in one day} : \dfrac{F}{12 \times 50}}

Given : There is an increase of 10 more children

It means : Total children = 60

\implies \sf{\textsf{The food consumed by 60 children in one day} : \dfrac{F \times 60}{12 \times 50}}

\implies \sf{\textsf{The food consumed by 60 children in one day} : \dfrac{F}{10}}

\implies \sf{\textsf{The food consumed by 60 children in 10 days} : \dfrac{F\times 10}{10}}

\implies \sf{\textsf{The food consumed by 60 children in 10 days} : F}

<u>Answer:</u> The food is sufficient for 10 days

What article of clothing is xavier most likely to outgrow first when he experiences the adolescent growth spurt?
Nookie1986 [14]
Either shoes or skinny jeans, I'd go with shoes. Xavier would grow in both height and weight as he goes through the growth spurt. As his height grows, his foot will grow accordingly as he needs support for his enlarging body. So he would need shoes prior to all others.
