The answers are A, B, & C. Steroid hormones have a longer half-life than peptide hormones because steroid hormones ride on carrier proteins in the blood.  In other words, they are bound to protein carriers that transport molecules across the membrane.  They can also be stored temporarily in the adipose tissue. And also, steroid hormones are sent to the nucleus where it regulates transcription while peptides don’t require this process. This is the reason why the effects of steroid hormones are exerted more slowly than peptides.

Answer: A safe place in the neighborhood seems the most reasonable or  D

Explanation:

A map of the house  wouldn't make sense because im pretty sure they would know around there house. An enlarges picture of each family member would also not make sense because it is just not helpful at all. A wallet card for each family wouldn't help them in there situation. A safe place for the family pet would help the pet but not everyone in the house so no. A list of friends for each family member would really be useful.
