This question refers to the article "Students’ Work Ethic Affected by Peer Groups, Desire to Be Popular" by Shankar Vedantam.

In this text, we are told about an experiment designed to test the effects of peer pressure on academic success. We are told that researchers Leonardo Bursztyn at UCLA and Robert Jensen at the Wharton School went into four low-income LA schools and offered 11th grade students access to free SAT prep courses. They found that students sitting in honors classes were more likely to sign up for the SAT prep course. Moreover, they also found that students were 11% less likely to sign up for classes if they believed that their peers were going to find out about their choice. This shows that students are heavily influenced by the opinions of their peers, and that they are more likely to worry about the impression they make than about the outcome of their studies.

According to the Introduction, who encouraged Mary Shelley to expand Frankenstein into a full-length novel?
Andrews [41]
Answer: D. Percy Bysshe Shelley

Mary Shelley's husband was none other than Percy Bysshe Shelley. They are both writers, though Mary wrote novels whereas Percy wrote poems. Naturally, the two supported each other in their literary efforts and found inspiration in their daily discussions. One conversation in particular between Lord Byron and Percy was about the subject of Galvanism, and Mary was drawn into it after overhearing them speak. Mary was intrigued by the idea of Galvanism (which is the process of using electric current to stimulate muscle movement), and she was inspired to write a short story. When she showed her work to Percy, he encouraged her to continue writing, expanding her short story into a full novel. The idea that someone could be caused to move simply by electricity gave her the idea to create a fictional monster, born of this technique. Today, we know this monster as "the creature," from Mary's novel <em>Frankenstein.</em><em>
