Citizens of parktown are worried by the increased frequency of serious crimes committed by local teenagers. In response, the cit

y government has instituted a series of measures designed to keep teenagers at home in the late evening.

Answer: 2)

Explanation:

If the argument that the children are mostly doing small thefts and inconsequential vandalism is correct it is the one with the most weakness since small thefts and small vandalism is still against the law and it should be punished. It is also bad for citizens and teenagers because the small thefts and vandalism can became bigger and bigger trough the time.

Learned helplessness is most likely to be associated with
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

It is most likely to be associated with an external locus of control.

Explanation:

The locus of control is an individual's <em>perception</em><em> of his/her reality</em>, which in turn <em>affects how he/she </em><em>interacts</em><em> with the </em><em>environment. </em>

The external locus of control relates to learnt helplessness because the way the individual interacts with the environment has lead to him/her too behave in a passive way. This is because the individual believes there is <em>no viable solution in the environment </em>for his/her problems and has<em> learnt to act accordingly. </em>
